Tutoring Tuesdays - March 12th, 2019

Happy Tuesday! In about a week it will finally be spring! I hope those of you on daylight saving time are enjoying the extra daylight! This week I am just showing cover pages due to time.

Last week in tutoring, I helped the 3rd grader first with practicing multiplying 3 digits by 2 digits using my Sloths 3 Digits by 2 Digits Multiplication Task Cards. Yes, 3rd grade can you believe that? She did a pretty good job with it. There are 24 task cards in color and black and white, a recording sheet, and an answer key!

Next we worked a little more on equivalent fractions using my Clip It Equivalent Fractions. She did a little better than the previous week. She seemed to be starting to grasp how to find an equivalent fraction. I will keep working with her on this skill. There are 24 task cards in black and white, a recording sheet, and answer key.

We finished tutoring working on 2 digit long division using my Flamingos 2 Digit Long Division Task Cards. She had to divide 4 digits by 2 digits. She also checked her answers with multiplication. She did much better multiplying this time and did excellent dividing. She said she wasn't sure how to add the remainders so I showed her that and then she did terrific! These also come with 24 task cards in color and black and white. A recording sheet and answer key are also included.

Tutoring Tuesdays - February 19th, 2019

Happy Tuesday! No tutoring the week before due to the family being sick so that is why there was no blog post. I was back to tutoring last Wednesday though! I hope each of you had a great Valentine's Day! Valentine's Day is over, but your students still make like these fun themes and kids love hearts anyway!

We started off tutoring working on finding the whole number with a reminder of a fraction using my Fractions of a Whole Number with Remainders. These in black and white and come with a recording sheet and answer key so you can use them as you wish! After missing one she did an excellent job and didn't miss any more!

We then worked on finding the missing factor in multiplication equations using my Valentine's Day Llamas Missing Number Equations. These are in color only and come with a recording sheet, answer key, and an optional game board. Land on a Llama and the student gets to go again! She didn't miss any!

We finished tutoring working on adding and subtracting 3 fractions with like denominators using my Valentine Superheroes Adding and Subtracting Fractions Task Cards. She did an incredible job soaring through these!

We also worked on a couple of partial multiplication and addition charts that she was able to do in less than 3 minutes.

Tutoring Tuesdays - September 25th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Wow, already the very last Tuesday of September!!! 

Last week I started out working on subtracting across zeroes with the 3rd grader using my new Fall Monsters Subtracting Across Zeroes Task Cards. There are 24 task cards in color and black white, a recording sheet, and answer key!

Next we worked on 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication using my FREE Mermaids 2 Digit by 1 Digit Multiplication Task Cards. There are 24 task cards in color and black and white and it also includes a recording sheet and answer key. This set works on the lower facts. If you download this please show your kindness by leaving a perfect rating and positive feedback. Remember I spend my own money on fonts and clip art. It is also 17 pages and they prefer that I keep freebies to 10 pages. It has been awhile since I've made something for free so I decided to make this free anyway. 

I finished tutoring by doing a little bit of long division dividing by 2 using my Unicorns Long Division Dividing by 2 Task Cards. Can you believe in 3rd grade she is doing long division already? I'll be working more on this with her next week. It includes 24 task cards, 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 - July 10th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I hope those of you in America had a great 4th of July! The next two weeks I won't have a Tutoring Tuesdays post as the family is on a fun vacation!

Last week, we started tutoring working on filling in the missing number in multiplication equations with one of the factors being no more than 5 using my Summer Crabs Multiplication Missing Number Equations Task Cards. There are 24 task cards, a recording sheet, answer key, and fun game board. Land on a crab and you get clawed back to start!

 

I finished tutoring helping her learn elapsed time to the hour and a half. We used my Telling Time to the Hour and Half Hour Task Cards. I had her tell me what time it is and then tell me what the time would be if it was an hour and half later. I first had her tell me an hour later and then add the half an hour. This is a very tough concept and I will continue to work with her on this. Toward the end of teaching her this concept her mom brought out an alarm clock that had the hands so I could turn the clock and she could see the hands move.

Tutoring Tuesdays - June 12th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is out for the summer now in the United States.

Last week in tutoring, I started out tutoring working on multiplying 11 or 12 by 0 through 5 using my Summer Monsters Multiplication Race. The cards in this set have all products from 0 to 12. I just took out these specific equations to work on with her. If you land on a monster you have to go back to start! Tons of fun!!!

Next, I had her work on putting numbers in the hundreds in order since she had a mega ton of difficulty with putting numbers in the thousands in order the week before. We used my new FREE Beach Buckets Ordering Numbers in the Hundreds. Please leave positive feedback and rating for my hard work. Remember it cost me money to purchase the clip art and fonts. She did a fantastic job, so we went back to working on ordering numbers in the thousands using the Popsicles from last week. She got 8 out of 10 right this time.

I also reviewed with her how many days in a year, month, week, and some metric conversions. I plan to do that quite a bit especially the metric conversions until she has it ingrained in her head. Then I had her measure a few things on a free measuring page I found on TPT. 

We finished tutoring by reviewing dividing by 3, 4, and 5 using my Unicorns Division Race. Land on a unicorn you get to go again, but land on the rainbow poop and you have to go back to start. So much fun!!! Facts go from 0 to 12's in this game. I just pull the cards that I plan to use for tutoring.

 

As always, thanks for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling!

We started tutoring last Wednesday working on rounding to the nearest dollar using my Ice Cream Monsters Rounding to the Nearest Dollar Race. Students can use the fun game board like we did or you can use the task cards as traditional task cards. Land on a monster and it stole your ice cream go back to start, but land on an ice cream cone or sundae and you get to go again! So much fun! She only missed one question. A recording sheet and answer key are included.

Next we worked on adding money using my Adding Money Regrouping Task Cards. These task cards do not come with a board game, but we used my board game that comes with my Cinco de Mayo Sight Word game to make it more fun in tutoring. You can use it as traditional task cards. A recording sheet and answer key are included. She did not miss a single question!

We finished tutored working on Multiplication and Division Fact Families using my Multiplication and Division Fact Family Houses. There are 24 task cards included. If you laminate them students can write on them with a dry erase marker. I did include a recording sheet, but they will have to write very small to fit all 4 equations. Otherwise use notebook paper. An answer key is included. She didn't miss a single fact family! The example below was printed black and white on colored card stock. They are available in color and black and white.

Tutoring Tuesdays - May 1st, 2018

I'm having to use a different browser and it is not letting me link the pictures so click the hyperlinks to check out my products!

We started out reviewing Multiplying by 4 and learning 5's using my Ocean Animals Multiplication Race. This game has all facts up to 12x12! Silly me left the game board at home so I had her pick a game board of her choice. The picture shows the correct game board. Land on a dolphin and you get to go again, but land on a shark and it chases you back to start!

Next we worked on reviewing tally marks to 10 using my FREE Earth Day Tally Marks Clip It cards. If you laminate it you can also have the child circle the answers. If you download this please show your kindness by leaving positive perfect feedback!

Then we worked on division by 4 using my Beach Division Race. These go all the way to 12 facts. I again forgot the game board at home so she picked one. The correct board game is pictured.

We also did some elapsed time to the hour. I just gave her a card with a clock on it and told her to tell me the time if it was an hour later. This is not pictured, but I have many telling time cards HERE.

We finished with just an introduce to rounding dollars using my Ice Cream Monsters Rounding to the Nearest Dollar Task Cards We didn't use the board game that does come with this one due to time, but we'll be doing this one on Wednesday so check back next week to see it in action!

Tutoring Tuesdays - April 24th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Anyone who is a prayer warrior please pray today. My dog as many of you know had under her eye cut at the Groomer's accidentally two weeks ago. She goes in today to hopefully get the stitches out and also hopefully the cone. It is also exactly 6 months ago that my Grandma went to Heaven.

For some reason it is not allowing me today to put a link in the picture so please click the hyperlinks if you want to check any of these out. Thank you!

Last Wednesday, I started out working on multiplying by 4 using my new Strawberries Multiplication Race with the 2nd grader. Land on a space with a number and you can have the student go forward that many spaces or backwards! Depends if you want a quicker game or a shorter game so I left that option to you! It also includes some fun cards that you can use if you would like. This game covers all of the multiplication facts in the 3rd grade standards.

Next we worked on putting numbers in the thousands in order from least to greatest using my Stars Number Order In The Thousands Task Cards. There are 10 sets in all.

We then worked on A.M. or P.M. using my Telling Time A.M. or P.M. Task Cards. This was a skill her mom said she sometimes has difficulty with. I put it with a game board like I usually do in tutoring to make it more fun. A board game is not included. You can use these as traditional task cards. A recording sheet and answer key are included with the 24 cards.

We finished tutoring doing a few more problems with giving back change. I focused on amounts where dollars weren't needed last week. You can see it in action from the last tutoring session HERE.

Thank you for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling!

Tutoring Tuesdays - April 3rd, 2018

Happy April! I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter or Passover if you celebrate! I am not tutoring tomorrow as the 2nd grader is on spring break and her grandma is coming to visit so tutoring update will be in a couple of weeks.

Last Wednesday, we worked on perimeter again using my Perimeter Task Cards. I worked with her on squares some triangles. Some with missing numbers for the sides and some without. She did a great job and didn't miss a single one! I put it with an Easter game board, which doesn't come with these task cards. You can use the task cards traditionally as it does come with a recording sheet and answer key.

Next we worked on multiplication by 3 with my Panda Multiplication Race game. I had cards for all of the facts for your students so you can use what facts you would like to use. Some of the spaces have a number on it. You can have them go forward that many spaces or backwards if they land on it for added fun!

Then we worked on some fractions with 3rds. We worked on shading fractions with 3rds using my Shading Fractions Task Cards and then did a few with my Fractions of a Group Easter themed task cards. There's only a few of these task cards and you can grab them HERE. The picture takes you to the shading task cards.

Next we worked on Division by 3 using my Division Multiplication Bump Fluency Games. These are not yet available in my store. Be sure to follow my store and you will get an email when I add it to my store!
