Tutoring Tuesdays - July 3rd, 2018

Happy first Tuesday in July! I wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July who live in the United States. It is our Independence Day. 

This week I am just sharing the cards I used during tutoring rather than showing how I use them with a game. Most of them do not come with a game. You can use any of them with any game you have or buy other products in my store that have a game and combine them. 

I started tutoring by introducing comparing numbers in the thousands by using my Patriotic Comparing Numbers in the Thousands Task Cards. There are 24 cards in all and it comes with a game board, recording sheet, and answer key. They are only in color. You can use them like traditional task cards. By laminating the cards, children can write on them with dry erase markers and wipe them when done.  Grab it for $1 on July 3rd and 4th, 2018.

Next I taught her how to compare fractions with like denominators using my popular Comparing Fractions with Like Denominators Task Cards. There are 24 cards, a recording sheet, and answer key. The cards are only in color, but as you can see print really well in b/w. These can also be purchased as part of a fraction bundle! She did not miss a single question and this was the first time she has worked on comparing fractions! Impressive!!! Just like the others if laminated the student can write on the task cards with dry erase markers!

We finished tutoring by reviewing adding 4 digit numbers by using my new Jungle Animals 4 Digit Addition with Regrouping. There are 24 cards in color and black and white, a recording sheet, and answer key. Some of the questions have no regrouping so students must understand when to regroup and when not to regroup. She also did not miss a question!

Tutoring Tuesdays - June 26th, 2018

Happy last Tuesday in June! Wow time is flying by! I did not tutor 2 weeks ago, but I did last week and had another terrific session!

I started out tutoring with a new skill for her. We worked on place value in the 1,000's place using my Fireflies Place Value in the 1,000's Task Cards. She was given a number and she had to read the question at the top to see if it wanted the ones, tens, hundreds, or thousands place. She did a fantastic job. If you use the board game like we did if you land on a firefly you get to go again.

Next, I had her work on again putting numbers in the 1,000s place in order using my Books Ordering Numbers in the 1,000's. She did a great job, only missing a couple.

Then I introduced her to ordering fractions from least to greatest. These cards are not for sale, but you can get them from Jason's Online Classroom. He sells them as clip art. First I had her label each fraction. We worked on halves, thirds, and fourths. Then I had her put the halves in order, then the thirds, and last the fourths. She did a fantastic job!

We finished tutoring working on counting dollars and coins with twenty dollar bills. On a white board I had her write the amount using the dollar sign and decimal point. She did a fantastic job especially with counting those twenty dollar bills. I put it with a game board, which is not included with the cards. You can use them with any game board or as traditional task cards. A recording sheet and answer key is available!

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!

 

Tutoring Tuesdays - June 5th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! First Tuesday in June man is the year flying by! Be sure to read through the whole blog post to grab your FREEBIE!

This week, I started tutoring reviewing one more with numbers in the hundreds using my one more game in my FREE game Surfing One More One Less Race. I had her roll one die (dice) and move that many spaces. Then she told me what the number would be if it was one more. If she or I landed on a shark we got chased back to start, but if we landed on a surfer we got to go again. She did a great job!

Next we worked on reviewing ordering numbers in the thousands using my new Popsicles Ordering Numbers in the Thousands Task Cards. I gave her 4 cards (they are all color coded) and had her put them in order from least to greatest. You could have students order from greatest to least, but the answer key is for least to greatest. This skill she had a lot of difficulty with so this week I will have her work on numbers in the hundreds and then move back to the thousands next week.

We then worked on one less with numbers in the hundreds using my Surfing One More One Less Race game. She rolled one die (dice) and moved that many spaces and told me the number that is one less. She only had difficulty with one on this game. 

We finished tutoring working a little bit with counting money with $20 bills.

Tutoring Tuesdays - May 29th, 2018

I'm back! Happy Tuesday! I didn't tutor two weeks ago, but I was back to tutoring last Wednesday. I can't believe that May is almost over. The kids are out for the summer in the county that I live in.

We started out working on multiplication facts playing a Bump game that I downloaded free from another seller.

Next, I worked on with her ordering numbers to the thousands as she had some trouble with that this school year. We used my Beach Buckets Ordering Numbers to 1,000 Task Cards. I had her order them from least to greatest. That is how I have the answer key set, but you can have them order them from greatest to least if you want. There are 10 sets of cards.

We finished tutoring working on some division playing by playing my Summer Trolls Division Race game. Land on a troll you get to go again, but land on a monster it chases you back to start!

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

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.

Tutoring Tuesdays - April 17th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Half way through April already. Wow! I hope each of you are hanging in there as you near the end of the school year. I wish your students the best of luck on their tests. Last Tuesday my poor dog accidentally was cut under her eye at the groomer. :(  Next week she will get her stitches out.

Last Wednesday, in tutoring I started out with a worksheet that I will post sometime reviewing capacity conversions, feet to yards, yards to inches, days in a year, etc. We also did some division by 2 and telling if the time was A.M. or P.M.

Then we worked on ordering numbers in the thousands least to greatest using my Smart Flowers Ordering Numbers in the Thousands Task Cards. I simply gave her 4 cards and she put them in order from least to greatest. There are 10 sets of cards in all.

After that we worked on rounding numbers to the 10's place using my Princess Rounding Numbers to the 10's Race. She had asked me to create a princess game so I did just that! She did a fantastic job and didn't miss a single question!

Then we worked on some task cards where she had to name a third of a given number. There were dice on the cards to help her. This is a skill she was working on in school. These cards are not yet available for purchase.

After that we finished by working on giving back change using my brand new Giving Back Change Task Cards. I gave her money manipulatives to help her give back the change. I did them with her as I was helping introduce what she had been introduced to in school. Even her teacher said this is a very difficult skill for 2nd graders. I plan to do a few more with her this Wednesday.
