Tutoring Tuesdays - February 5th, 2019

Happy Tuesday! Wow, already February! I hope your month is off to a great start. Welcome back to teaching to those in the southern hemisphere. I hope your year is off to a great start!

We started tutoring with fractions of a whole number with a denominator of 5 through 9 using my Fractions of a Whole Number Task Cards. This resource now contains 48 task cards with denominators of 2 through 9! There are 2 recording sheets and answer keys.

Next we worked on adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Yes she is a 3rd grader! We used my Adding and Subtracting Fractions Task Cards. There are 24 task cards in color only, but they easily print in grey scale as you can see below. I have included a recording sheet and answer key.

We finished tutoring doing a few problems on converting and adding or subtracting cups and pints where she had to change the cups to pints or the pints to cups. We used my Adding and Subtracting Cups and Pints Task Cards. I will admit it yes right here on my blog that I am human and I had the conversions mixed up. She drew a diagram to prove to me she was correct! I realized I had switched them and it showed me that she truly knew understood the skill since she was able to teach me! I was so proud of her. The answer key has been corrected as I had 2 proofreaders so no worries there. There is a recording sheet and answer key.

Tutoring Tuesdays - January 15th, 2019

Happy Tuesday! Those of you in the United States and most of the world are back to teaching your incredible students. I believe Australia starts back soon. I wish you all a great rest of the school year! I started back tutoring last Wednesday.

I spent most of tutoring with the 3rd grader working on adding and subtracting gallons and quarts using my Adding and Subtracting Quarts and Gallons Task Cards. She had to convert the gallons to quarts or quarts to gallons to solve the equation. She did a terrific job! There are 24 task cards, a recording sheet, and answer key included.

We also had time to do a few long division problems using my Long Division New Year's Task Cards. After completing the problem I had her check them like she sometimes does in school. There are 24 task cards in color and black and white, a recording sheet, and answer key.

Tutoring Tuesdays - August 14th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Kids here in Central Florida are already back in school! Has school started where you live? Let me know in the comments!

We switched tutoring to Mondays from Wednesdays last week. I will still be posting a recap of the fun things we did on Tuesday for the previous Monday (the week before) to give me time to take pictures and write the blog post.

This week we started out reviewing multiplication by multiplying 0 through 5 by 11 or 12 using my Back to School Multiplication Race game. These cards have 0 facts all the way to 12 facts. I just print the ones who are working on! It comes with a fun game board.

Next we worked more on elapsed time by the hour and a half when given a clock that has the time to the hour or half hour. We used my Telling Time to the Hour and Half Hour Task Cards. I blogged about how I used those cards for Elapsed Time HERE.

We then worked on comparing numbers to the thousands and ten thousands using my Comparing Numbers to the Millions Task Cards. I put it with a game board that is not included, but you can use it as traditional task cards. If they are laminated students can write on them with a dry erase marker. It comes with a recording sheet and answer key.

We finished tutoring by me asking her how many days in a week, year, how many months, and converting inches to feet, feet to yards, quarts to gallons, etc.

As always thank you for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling!

Tutoring Tuesdays - January 16th, 2018

Welcome back to Tutoring Tuesdays! After a couple of weeks off of tutoring I tutored last Wednesday. I hope each of you enjoyed your extra day off this week celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr.

This week we mostly worked on 1 more or 1 less to 1,000. I focused mostly on numbers where the hundred's or ten's place changes as that is where she has difficulty. For example what comes after 299 or 349. What comes before 500 or 750. We used my new Numbers to 1,000 Penguins Race. As she showed me again if the kids write really tiny on the cards it will fit the numbers, but I recommend using a white board or the recording sheet that is included. It comes with a game board or you can use it for Scoot, Quiz Quiz Trade, etc.

That took most of the hour. Then we worked on measurement to the nearest half inch. I planned to work on the nearest quarter inch with her, but her mom told me she had just had difficulty with half inch so I used these cards for half inch instead. The answer key that comes with my Measurement to the Nearest Quarter Inch Penguins is for quarter inch, but use it as you see fit. I made them both with the box in case you want to laminate them and cut them out for a mini center or small group or without the box to be used as a worksheet. You can download this for FREE by clicking on the picture! Did I say FREE? Yup! Please leave positive feedback if you like this center/printable. Remember it cost me money to create this for you as I pay for the clip art and the fonts. Thank you!

As always thank you for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling!
