Valentine Math Quick Writes -- Freebie!

Here's a variation on a Math Quick Write activity in my new packet. Students draw a card, set a timer for three minutes, and write as many addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems as they can that have the answer listed on the card.

My TPT store is on sale through midnight tomorrow, so it's a good time to get twenty percent off on any of my products you have on your wish list.

Valentine's Multiplication Bump -- Freebie!

Don't you just love Bump games?

Here's a multiplication Bump you can use in your Math stations for Valentine's Day.

Your kids won't even know they are practicing their multiplication facts.

Just click on the link above to get your Bump board, add a pair of dice, and 16 markers for each player.

Try these markers if you don't have any.

Or to make it even more fun, use Conversation Hearts as the markers.

Have fun!

Sweet Order Scoot! -- Freebie!

I love Scoot games.

I love Valentines Day.

I think the Order of Operations is pretty neat.

Put all three of those things together and you've got a pretty neat activity for a Math station.

I think part of the Common Core Math Standard for Third Grade O.A.3.8 is often overlooked.

Students are required to solve two step word problems using the four operations and represent those problems using different strategies.

The very last sentence of that standard says ….should know how to perform operations in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular Order of Operations.

Just click on the pic above to get the freebie.

Lots and Lots of Freebies to Make up for Busy Week!

It has been busy, busy, busy here at the Pitner Ponderosa these past few days, so I haven't posted much. To make up for that, here are lots of Valentine-related goodies for you to download free! Click on each pic to get the freebie file.

The Kiss That Missed is a...door....uh...bull!!!!!! You are gonna L.O.V.E. it! (And check out that cute, cute, cute artwork! My newest graphics are from SpringHillGraphics.com. Check out her work!) This activity is on sequencing.

Give your students practice with alphabetizing to the second and third letter with these Valentine words.

 This is going to be in my Writing Literacy Station this week. The kiddos choose one word from each category and write a story. Wonder what will happen when Cupid and Santa meet up?

 I love, love, love Cynthia Rylant's books. If You'll Be My Valentine is a rhyming trip through Valentine's Day with the cutest little boy ever! Students can put the events in the correct sequence, then add their own verse to the story.

The Day It Rained Hearts is precious. Words from the story will be sorted into different parts of speech in this freebie.

 Please, sir, can I have more......practice on cause and effect?! Get your kids up and moving with this match up activity for a whole group or put it in a literacy station.

Hope you can use some of these for part of your Valentine's Day celebration. Show the love with a comment if you use any!
