Tutoring Tuesdays - January 23rd, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great Monday.

Last Wednesday, I tutored the wonderful 2nd grader. I started out reviewing 2 digit Subtraction and also a few cards for 2 digit Addition. We used my Snowman 2 Digit Subtraction Regrouping Task Cards and Snowman 2 Digit Addition Regrouping Task Cards. We especially worked hard on the Subtraction ones with a difference of 1 digit in the ones place like 8 and 9 or 4 and 3. The board game I used with her is NOT included with the task cards. The board game comes with my Snowman Sight Word Race game.

We spent the last half of tutoring again working on 1 More or 1 Less. We used my new Valentine's Day One More, One Less Race game from the centers pack. I wrote One's, Ten's, and Hundred's on a white board and had her draw to show how many one's, ten's, and hundreds. I then had her show one more or one less and circle groups of ten and move them over to the next place or cross out a ten or hundred to borrow 10 tens or 10 ones. I used this strategy to hope that helps her understand the ones where carrying or borrowing would occur if writing it out as a math problem. This does come with a game board. Plus some other fun centers.

Tutoring Tuesdays - December 19th, 2017

Happy Tuesday! Everyone should be headed out on winter break soon or those in Australia, New Zealand, etc. heading on summer break. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas that celebrates this wonderful holiday. Happy Holidays to everyone else.

I started out with the 2nd grader reviewing adding 9 on a freebie I found on TPT. I forgot to take a picture of that. She had to try to get 3 in a row before I did. She is doing a great job memorizing her addition facts!

Next, I introduced her to a new skill rounding to the 10's place. We used my Christmas Lights Rounding to the Ten's Place FREEBIE. She had some difficulty as many students do, especially the first time learning it. I showed her for a number like 64 on a number line that the 4 is closer to 60 then it is to 70 so you round down to 60. After showing her a few examples she seemed to get it! This is a FREEBIE! Watch out for the white light bulb it burnt out so you must go back to start! I did not put a question on each card so you can use them for odd/even, what number comes next or before, mentally add 10, pick 4 and put in order, etc. They can also be used as traditional task cards. Click the picture to grab for FREE and show your kindness by leaving positive feedback. It cost me money to make it free for you!

We wrapped up tutoring working again on 2 digit subtraction with regrouping. Thankfully she is in a private school and does not do Common Core so we can work on them in the traditional way. She doesn't even call it regrouping. She has been taught it is called borrowing like I was taught when I was a kid in school! We used my 2 digit Subtraction Christmas Task Cards. These are traditional task cards and do NOT come with a board game. I however, almost always put them with a board game to make it more fun. You can purchase the task cards by clicking on either picture.

Tutoring Tuesdays - November 14th, 2017

Happy Tuesday! Thanksgiving is getting close. I hope everyone is enjoying the Fall/Autumn weather.

Last week, I worked on a skill the 2nd grader told me she was working on in school. She has to solve two addition equations with 3 addends and then compare the two. So I created this FREEBIE for it called Turkey Thanksgiving Equations Comparing Numbers Task Cards. I used the game board with her as she loves games, but you can use it for Scoot if you prefer or any other cooperative activity. Click the picture to grab it for FREE and leave perfect positive feedback to show your thanks!

Next we reviewed Odd and Even Numbers using my Squirrels Odd or Even Task Cards. These come with a fun optional board that of course we used! The child can simply say if it is Odd/Even like I had her do, underline the answer on the card if it is laminated or placed in plastic sleeves, or use the recording sheet provided.

We finished tutoring doing a little bit of 2 digit Subtraction Regrouping with my Turkey Thanksgiving 2 Digit Subtraction Regrouping Task Cards. These come in color and b/w. We used the same game board as above which is not included. You can get the game board for free though with the comparing number task cards above! Click on the picture to purchase the task cards.

Tutoring Tuesdays - August 15th, 2017

Tutoring Tuesdays is back! The little one was on vacation for a couple of weeks and I was busy setting up a brand new store so I did not write any post on Tuesdays.

We first reviewed 2 digit by 2 digit subtraction regrouping using my 2 Digit Subtraction Regrouping Apple Task Cards. I have her write on the cards as I laminated them. Otherwise you can give them scrap paper. I use the game board that came with it but you are welcome to use it for Scoot or any other cooperative group activity. If a student lands on an apple with a worm they get chased back to start. She decided to put the worms in jail so it was a safe spot. She drew jail bars over the worm. She has an awesome imagination that many kids don't have anymore. I let her as to me it's all about the child learning the skill and she did terrific!

Next we worked more on the 9's addition trick that I mentioned before using this game board that I will be adding to the Primary Reading and Math Bundle. They simple roll one die (dice) and move that many spaces on the game board.

Last we worked a little bit on 3 digit addition regrouping with my 3 Digit Addition 4 In A Row game. There are 4 different game boards. Children can either share a game board like I did with her and spin two spinners and adding them together. Then they find it on the board and put a counter on it. Get 4 in a row they win! This way they can wind up blocking each other. Or you can give each student a game board and they just try to get 4 in a row with no chance of anyone blocking them.
