Tutoring Tuesdays - June 11th, 2017

I hope everyone is off to a great start to this week! We've had a lot more rain here. I think we've finally had enough. Ha!

Thursday, in tutoring we first worked on 3 digit by 3 digit regrouping using my 3 Digit Regrouping Airplane Task Cards and the game that comes with it. The girl I tutor likes airplanes, especially purple ones so I thought she would like this game. If you land on an airplane you get to pretend to be an airplane and then go again! You can also use them as traditional task cards. Children can write on the cards if laminated. There is enough room to do so.

Next I introduced her to subtraction regrouping. We worked on my 2 Digit Subtraction Regrouping Robots Task cards. If you land on a robot you get to go again. We didn't have time to do too many problems, but she caught on very quickly and even told me how she was solving each problem. I teach her the traditional way, not Common Core, which I don't believe in and she doesn't have to do in private school. She's proof that the traditional way still works and that children can grasp the skill doing things traditionally.

Tutoring Tuesdays - April 25th, 2017

Last Tuesday, I continued to work on 2 digit regrouping by 2 digit with the 1st grader that I tutor. I found out at her birthday party that she loves Robots! So we played a board game with the Robot 2 Digit Addition Regrouping Task Cards that I recently created. If a student lands on a robot they get to go again because the Robot helps them do their work. I have included a recording sheet if you want to keep your students accountable or to play Scoot, Quiz, Quiz trade, etc. Click on either picture to grab it! I also have subtraction, sight words, and fluency phrases available.

I didn't show this video in tutoring as we don't do YouTube videos but I thought I'd keep with the Robot theme and share The Learning Station's video "Dancing Robots". Such a fun brain break your students will certainly love!!!


After we played that game we worked on these fun Part Part Whole to 20 Love Bug Task Cards. Students add the two parts together to make a whole! Click on either of the pictures of the hyperlink to grab it.

I put this with my spring game board that comes with my Spring Sight Word Race game to make it more fun. Land on a bee you got stung go back to start, but land on a child with a net the child caught the bee and you get to go again. With the task cards, the game board is not currently in the set but I have included a recording sheet and answer key for you to use for Scoot, Quiz, Quiz trade at centers, stations, rotations, RTI, small groups, etc. This set also includes one of the parts missing with the whole being given. Your students have to find the missing part. We may work on that this Thursday if we have time. There are 36 cards!

The Love Bugs Part Part Whole are also currently available with numbers to 10, multiplication, and even contractions!
