Base ten blocks or ten frames flash on the screen for a set time limit. The student is then asked to identify what number was shown.

Directions:

Watch carefully! After the timer runs out, enter the correct number to proceed to the next flash. The timer decreases with each correct answer and increases with each incorrect answer. At the end of the interactive, data is displayed showing the incorrect and correct answers and what time limit the slide was in view.

For my educator friends who have access to Google Slides, but do not have access to PowerPoint, this post is for you. Since Google Slides does not have the animation that makes the Splats become transparent, the Splat! reveal does not work in Slides. Now - with these materials - it will. I've rewritten the first 20 Splat! lessons and the first 20 Fraction Splat! lessons with a different method so they will now include the reveal when using Google Slides.

The content of the lessons is the same as the original lessons.

Visit these links to see the original videos about how to use the and the Fraction Splat! slides.

Quick Note: The file sharing power of Google Drive is impressive and highly useful. However, for the purposes of sharing these resources, I need to use a method that I can personally maintain, update and support - and I've learned that the best way to provide resources from my blog is through the download links and the sign-up forms.

I hope you enjoy these Splats! formatted to work in Google Slides!

We had so much fun with out ladybug one more one less activity that we decided to create a summer version as well. Working on number sense skills in the early years as kids are working with smaller numbers is extremely helpful, and it can be fun too! These one more one less games make it easy for you to prep and fun for kids to play as they learn. In this one more one less number sense fish math activity kids will have fun using fish theme manipulatives to show a number and then identify the numbers that are one more and one less. This activity goes great with a summer theme, fish theme, or ocean theme for preschool or kindergarten.

Step-by-Step Tips for Using your Fish One More One Less Printable

There are a few different options for using this printable. First you can use it solely with hands-on materials. We used fish foam beads and magnetic letters to start. This is a terrific way to introduce the activity to kids for the first time.

Then you can incorporate number writing practice by using dry erase markers. Simply laminate the game boards or put them in a clear sheet protector. This works well for independent practice or math centers.

Finally once kids have had multiple opportunities for practice you can introduce the optional recording sheet. This can also be laminated and reused or you can write directly on the recording sheet for single-use. This is helpful for documenting kids' progress or sending work home if needed.
What's Included?
This free printable includes:

the full color game board,

the full color number cube, and

the black and white recording sheet.

Classroom Practices That Support Equity-Based Mathematics.

Relevance: Reflecting, noticing, and engaging the community are ways of practicing equity in the math classroom.

What Are Classroom Practices That Support Equity-Based Mathematics Teaching?

Current mathematics education research is used to frame equity-based teaching practices through three lenses useful for building one's teaching: reflecting , noticing , and engaging in community .

Reflecting . Equity-based teaching requires a substantial amount of reflection, which involves not just reflecting on your pedagogy and your classroom norms, but also considering how you identify yourself and how others identify you (Crockett, 2008; Gutiérrez, 2013b; Walshaw, 2010).

Noticing . Noticing generally refers to paying attention to students' mathematical thinking (Jacobs, Lamb, & Philipp, 2010), yet it is a crucial skill for equity-based teaching; noticing helps teachers pay attention to how students position and identify themselves and each other (Wager, 2014).

Engaging in Community . Community engagement is powerful, in all aspects of teaching. While there are many ways to engage in your multiple communities, we highlight two specific communities here: your classroom and your teaching community.

Equity-based mathematics teaching requires more than implementing new curriculum or using specific practices because it involves taking a stand for what is right. It requires mathematics teachers to reflect on their own identity, positions, and beliefs in regards to racist and sorting-based mechanisms. It involves noticing students, learning about the worlds they live in, and building mathematics that comes from these worlds. And finally, it involves engaging other educators in partnerships to build equity-oriented communities.

How Do Teachers Support Problem-solving?

Although students do much of the talking and questioning in a TTP lesson, teachers play a crucial role. The widely-known 5 Practices for Orchestrating Mathematical Discussions were based in part on TTP. Teachers study the curriculum, anticipate student thinking, and select and sequence the student presentations that allow the class to build the new mathematics. Classroom routines for presentation and discussion of student work, board organization, and reflective mathematics journals work together to allow students to do the mathematical heavy lifting. To learn more about journals, board work, and discussion in TTP, as well as see other TTP resources and examples of TTP in action, click on the respective tabs near the top of this page.
