A Pirate's Secret Treasure - Freebie!

My Math stations and activities this week involve two of my kiddos' favorite things----money and pirates.

In this activity, students draw a card and use bills and coins to count out the amount.

Have a marvelous Monday!

Cha-ching! Freebie

Can you believe it's almost Easter?

This year has flown by and I don't feel like I've covered near the amount of material as in depth as I've wanted to!

It's been a rollercoaster ride implementing Common Core math and ELA standards this year, but I will say I like the Core!

I am a little curious why money is only mentioned in the second grade standards. I've made a new packet that reinforces counting money, working simple word problems involving money, and making change up to $5.00. It's going in my Math stations next week.

I'm giving my readers one of the activities from the packet as tonight's freebie.

Just click on the pic above to get the freebie! Visit my stores if you'd like to see the whole packet. Not only have I marked all of my St. Patrick's Day products ten percent off in my Teachers Pay Teachers store, but I'm offering you a chance to buy any two products and get one of equal or lesser value FOR FREE! If you are interested, browse my store, make your purchases, and email me the receipt. Add a note with the name of the product you want for free and I'll email it to you!

My email is pitner107 at gmail.com. (Trying not to get spam!) This offer ends at midnight on March 17.

Who is Stronger--Hulk or Spidey? -- Freebie

Who is stronger -- The Hulk or Spidey?

To find out, students must draw cards for the super heroes and count the money on the cards. The hero with the most money for that round wins and gets both cards.

......and please leave a super hero-sized comment for me!

Aren't these penguins darling? Lauren at First Grade Diaries has them on her Etsy Shop, along with some other cute winter-themed graphics.

Wallet War -- Freebie and 2012 Representations

Yesterday was our first day back with kids. For Math, we showed various ways of representing 2012.

The kids had a ball and some were pretty creative.

Sneaky Order -- Money Freebie

Today is our first day back with kids. We had a Staff Development Day yesterday and just that wore me out! Wish me luck today.


I love, love, love these cute sneakers from KPMDoodles.com. Be on the lookout for more activities using them! This activity can be done in a Math station or as a whole group activity. Arrange the money cards in the correct order. If you do it as a whole group activity, set a timer and time the students' first attempt. See if they can beat their time. (Don't forget to sneak in a comment when you download!)
