WHAT IS PBIS?

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based three-tiered framework to improve and integrate all of the data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes every day. PBIS creates schools where all students succeed.

TIER 1

Tier 1 practices and systems establish a foundation of regular, proactive support while preventing unwanted behaviors. Schools provide these universal supports to all students, school-wide.

TIER 2

Tier 2 practices and systems support students who are at risk for developing more serious problem behaviors before those behaviors start. These supports help students develop the skills they need to benefit from core programs at the school.

TIER 3

At Tier 3, students receive more intensive, individualized support to improve their behavioral and academic outcomes. At this level, schools rely on formal assessments to determine a student's need.

There's a good chance you've done the "write on a sticky note and put it on the wall" activity - or have seen it happen before.
Padlet lets those sticky notes have images, links and videos AND be available with practically any Internet-ready device.
It used to be blocked by my school's Internet filter. This school year, the powers that be have allowed it through on student devices, opening up lots of possibilities in class!

Padlet is a great place for gathering ideas, sharing them and modifying them later. It's like a living, breathing webpage. Users can add links, YouTube videos, files and images to Padlet notes. They can move and arrange them. A link to a Padlet can be shared and Padlets can be embedded into webpages.

Here are 20 ways to use Padlet in class:

Looking for ways to make your math learning a little more interesting? Grab a few decks of playing cards and introduce some of these math card games to your class. Your students will have fun in spades!

1. Try for a total of 10.

Play this math card game alone or as a team. Lay out 20 cards on the table (leave out face cards or change them to equal 0, while aces equal 1). Kids remove sets of cards that add up to 10, ultimately trying to remove all the cards from the table. It's harder than you think!

Learn more: The First Grader Roundup

2. Declare a fraction war.

War is one of the original math card games, but this version adds a fraction aspect. Students deal two cards, a numerator and denominator, then determine whose fraction is the largest. The winner keeps all four cards, and play continues until the cards are gone. ( Click here for more fun and free fraction games.)

Learn more: Mrs. Weigand's Mathematics Resources

3. Learn numbers with card bingo.

Remove the face cards and have each student lay out a 4 x 4 playing "board" of cards. Remaining cards (or another deck) are placed face down, and a caller flips over a card. Any player who has that number on their board turns the card face down. Play continues until one player has a row flipped over horizontally, vertically, or diagonally and calls "Bingo!"

Learn more: Top Notch Teaching

4. Find a way to make 10 (or 15, or 20 ... )

One of the terrific things about math card games is that many of them can be customized for various concepts and skill levels. The original goal of this game was to look at the cards you're dealt to find ones that add up to 10, but it can be changed to 15, 20, or any number you choose. You can also add to the difficulty by allowing addition and subtraction (for example, you could use 8+4=12 or 12-2=10). Get the rules and free printable mats at the link below.

5. Practice number sequencing with builder's paradise.

Simple math card games can help kids learn how to put numbers in order. To play builder's paradise, discard the face cards and lay out the 4 sevens in a deck side by side. In each round, players work to add the next higher or lower number in each suit, trying to be the first to get rid of all their cards. Get the full how-to at the link below.

Learn more: Math Geek Mama

6. Do some basic fast facts practice.

Give your flash cards a rest and practice facts with math card games instead. Simply lay down two cards from the deck (remove the face cards first) and add, subtract, or multiply them. Kids can work on this alone, or you can make it a contest to see who can call out the correct answer first.

7. Play pyramid solitaire alone or in teams.

Some versions of solitaire are really just sneaky math card games, and pyramid is one of them. Try to find cards that add up to 10 as you clear your pyramid row by row. Learn how to play at the link below.

Learn more: Multiplication.com

8. Go fishing for pairs that make 10.

Your students probably already know how to play Go Fish, but in this version, they're fishing for pairs that add up to 10. Have them ask: "I have a 2. Do you have an 8 to make 10?" Change aces to 1 for this game and leave face cards out entirely.

Learn more: Mrs. Weigand's Mathematics Resources

9. Challenge them to beat the teacher.

Practice place value by drawing cards and trying to build the largest number possible. Kids play against the teacher to see who wins! Get the rules at the link below. ( Find more fun place value activities here.)

10. Use Close Call to practice two-digit addition or subtraction.

The best math card games are simple at heart. To play Close Call, each player deals themselves four cards then determines how to arrange them so they make two two-digit numbers that add up close to 100 without going over. For a subtraction version, work to get as close to zero as possible. Learn how to play at the link.

11. Use order of operations to get to 24.

Math card games aren't just for little kids; even adults will find this one a bit tricky. Each player is dealt four cards, then uses the order-of-operations rules to try to make a number as close to 24 as possible. Simple but challenging!

Learn more: Learn With Math Games

12. Let card color indicate negative or positive.

In this game, red cards are negative integers while black cards are positive. Students attempt to play pairs of cards that total 6 or -6. You can change the goal number as needed.

13. Take a trip around the card spiral to practice math facts.

You'll need a pair of dice for this math card game. Lay cards out randomly in a spiral formation as shown, and set a marker for each player on the center card. Player one rolls the dice then moves their piece that number of spaces shown. They then must multiply (or add or subtract, depending on preferences) the card number by the number on the dice. If they get the answer correct, they stay where they are. If not, they return to their original card. Play continues until one player reaches the end.

14. Be the fastest in the race to pi.

In this game, kids work to lay out the digits of pi in order. It's a simple draw-and-play game, but will help familiarize students with this important number. You can write out the digits first or see who knows them from memory. Find out how to play at the link below.

Learn more: Math Geek Mama

15. Take a gamble with triple-digit dare.

Each player gets three cards and privately determines the highest three-digit number they can make (you can use decimals or not, depending on age). Then, each player has a turn to stick with the cards they have, swap with one from the deck, or steal one of the other player's. All players then lay down their best number to see who wins. See more at the link below.

Learn more: Math Coach's Corner

16. Try reading minds to figure out the correct numbers.

Two students draw a card from the deck without looking and hold it up to their forehead facing out. A third student mentally multiplies the numbers and gives them the product. The students then must figure out what number each is holding. You can do this with addition and subtraction too. You'll find this game along with dozens of other math card games in the free printable book at the link below.

In sixth grade, children focus more on subject-specific texts and words. The level of reading comprehension increases, as they're expected to read a variety of texts and analyze elements such as tone, point of view. This higher level of language arts instruction can be supported by having children read a larger variety of texts and having them write about what they find.

Our free videos, games and worksheets are designed to support this higher level of language arts instruction. Fun word games get children involved in activities designed to boost their critical thinking and analytical skills, as well as introduce them to subject-specific vocabulary words. Free videos will help them learn how to analyze story elements and how to put what they learn down on paper.

Thinking Skills tell us how we want students to think about the content. I use Bloom's Taxonomy. Make sure students are actually doing the thinking you want! For example, "create a list of odd numbers" is not high-level thinking, despite the word "create."

Content is the topic you're teaching! Click "click to edit" in the objective above to change it. You can differentiate your content by using Depth and Complexity below.

Resources are where students will get their information. You might lecture, give them a book to read, show them a video, etc. You'll want to get way more specific than these options.

The product is how students' show you their thinking. It should match the level of Bloom's that you aimed for. ⚠️ Products tend to be over-emphasized! A cool-looking product does not mean that there was high-level thinking.
Product list adapted from David Chung and The Flip Book, Too by Kaplan, Gould, Siegel
Beware the negative side of putting students in groups! Group work is vastly overused and will limit what students can produce.
