We use ReadWorks articles to discuss Social Emotional Skills.  These articles provide a safe environment during our reading group sessions for students to share how they connect with the social emotional skill being taught in the story.

Scholastic has offered weekly articles that are high interest. Each day my students choose an article and make a flipgrid about it.

These are great slides that provide pictures and questions. This is helpful for k-5. It also provides extension conversations as well. A great resource for teachers doing the "Notice and Wonder" routine.

Number Frames help students structure numbers to five, ten, twenty, and one hundred. Students use the frames to count, represent, compare, and compute with numbers in a particular range.

This is a spinner that you can add words or pictures to. My class plays a lot of math games using this spinner. I add a link to the spinner on my slides assignments.

Every Friday I meet with my first graders on Google Meet for 30 minutes. We play a Kahoot to review the week’s content. It is a great way to incorporate a structured activity for little ones into what could be a chaotic video chat. It motivates the kiddos knowing they will be quizzed on the content in a fun low stress environment! They also love seeing their classmates! I post a question on my Classroom asking what time of day works best for their families to help them participate too!

The San Diego Zoo has an amazing website. They have enclosure cameras, crafts, games, etc. The kids went on the virtual field trip then we wrote about it the following week.

great for upper grades. You can host live games on just about any topic. We had our first live game last Friday and students had fun! We do this once a week. I just post the game code ten minutes before game time. You can post the top ten winners on Google Classroom or on Class Dojo after.

Math games using cards

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
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!

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.)

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!"

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hello parents! Right now, many children around the world are learning from home because their school is temporarily closed. Students who don't read at home will lose the most ground. In this video series, I begin by teaching the necessary skills to successfully read by yourself.

I have my students utilize Flipgrid with a new simple topic (I.e sharing an art piece, reading their writing etc.) daily so they can feel like they are seeing their classmates as often as possible.
