Tutoring Tuesdays - October 2nd, 2018

Happy Tuesday! October is here! Bye September! How is the weather where you are? Is it cooling off? Still very hot here in Florida! 

Be sure to follow my TPT store so you don't miss anything new! Clicking HERE will automatically follow me if you are logged in! Easy! Also follow me on Teacher's Dojo (you'll have to click the follow button after logging in) where I have over 800 of my resources. Sadly, Teachers Notebook is no more. :(

I started off tutoring with the 3rd grader on long division dividing by 2 using my Unicorn Long Dividing by 2 Task Cards. She got the hang of it and was doing fantastic after the first several we did. There are 24 task cards in color and black and white. I put it with my unicorn game board, but that does not come with this set, but can be bought separately. There is a recording sheet and answer key so you can play "Scoot", put at a center, use in small groups, etc. 

We finished tutoring working on checking addition with subtraction using my Check 2 Digit Addition with Subtraction Task Cards. After 1 example she did a fantastic job and didn't miss a single question! These come in color (for the border) and black and white. There are 24 task cards, a recording sheet, and answer key!

Tutoring Tuesdays - May 16th, 2017

I hope the mothers out there had a Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!

Last Thursday, I started tutoring off with my 2 Digit Addition Regrouping Beach Task Cards. I used the shell game board from the pack. It also comes with a beach ball game board or can be used as traditional task cards. I love the cards as the kids can write on, wipe off with them. Then I gave her a quick assessment using my 2 Digit Regrouping Spring No Prep Printables. She got 100% on it!

Then I used my fun Addition and Subtraction 3 Number Equation Fish Puzzles. I gave her 12 (of the 32) puzzles to put together and she did a great job! Even when it was down to process of elimination of where they fit she checked the equations to make sure I hadn't made a mistake creating them. These are in color and b/w. The below example is in b/w but printed using colored cardstock.

Then we had time to play my Space Addition Facts Race working on sums of 12, 13, and 14. This one isn't yet updated in my Primary Reading and Math Games Bundle but it will be in there this summer along with some updated games. Grab it while you can before the price goes up and you'll be able to download what I add for free!

Featured Freebie Fridays - May 5th, 2017

Happy Friday! I hope that you have had a spectacular Teacher Appreciation Week whether it was celebrated this week or last week at your school. Do know that I appreciate you! I hope you had the chance to shop in the Teachers Pay Teachers and Teacher's Notebook sitewide sales. There is still time to shop at Teacher's Notebook. Now on to today's freebie!

Today, I have a new freebie for you. I have been working hard on 2 digit regrouping with the 1st grader I tutor. So I decided to make a set of task cards for you too! These Sailboat 2 Digit Addition Regrouping Task Cards come with a fun board game. Of course you can still use just the cards with the recording sheet to play Scoot, Quiz Quiz Trade or any other cooperative group game, place at a center, station, or rotation, small groups, early finishers, etc. I have many suggestions included with the download. I appreciate positive feedback. Please remember it does cost me money to make these freebies free for you! It just takes you a minute to click back after downloading and leaving that feedback. Please do not place freebies on any website without permission from myself, which likely will be no. I want people to download them from my store so they can give me feedback.

Once I use these in tutoring I will share pictures of the game in action.

Tutoring Tuesdays - April 11th, 2017

Welcome to tutoring Tuesdays! I really tutor on Thursday afternoons, but this gives me more time to show some things I worked on the previous week and possibly other sessions when I don't tutor. Pictures were taken before or after tutoring. Currently I tutor a 1st grader so these will be primary activities. These activities will work well in the classroom and for home school students too.

One of my favorites to use during tutoring is the game Bump! Bump is a fun engaging game where children roll a die (dice) or a spinner and cover the number on the game board (or word if a reading game). Then the next player goes. If the same child gets the same number (or word) twice they place a 2nd cube or counter (same color) on it and then that space is locked. If anyone gets it again they simply lose their turn. However, if there is only one on the space and the other player gets the same number or word they bump them off and take the space! This game can take 10 minutes or a half an hour. Here is a free one that we played yesterday perfect for Easter. Easter Baskets Subtracting from 13 Bump.

I also worked on Easter Addition 2 Digit Regrouping Task Cards using bunny task cards. I placed a game board that comes with the 30 task cards to make it more fun. Children solve an equations and  roll one die and move that spaces on the game board. If they land on a snake they go back to start, but if they land on a chick they get to roll or spin again. This game also comes with bunny spinners. I forgot to take a picture of that.

I have a lot of task cards and race games in my store for addition, subtraction, multiplication, sight words, fluency phrases, etc. They are a favorite of kids!

I finally we worked on some Addition and Subtraction Word Problems to 10. I gave her one task card at a time and she solved it on a dry erase board showing how to solve it.
