Tutoring Tuesdays - May 21st, 2019

Happy Tuesday! The past couple of weeks, I didn't get to today as they were canceled, but I finally got to tutor last week. Sadly, it was my last tutoring session with this absolutely incredible third grader who I have tutored since the 3rd nine weeks of her Kindergarten year. The family made me feel like home. Her parents are absolutely incredible wonderful people. They told me if she gets stuck on a skill next school year they will give me a call to help her with that skill. The doctor told them it is best for her not to tutor weekly as then she will think she's not good at Math and it would hurt her confidence. 

On the last tutoring session we continued to work on long division with 2 digits by using my Camera 2 Digit Long Division Task Cards. She also checked it with multiplication. There are 24 task cards in color and black and white plus an answer key and recording sheet. She still made some careless mistakes, but she is very capable of doing this tough 5th grade skill.

 

 

 
I do not plan to take on any new tutoring students. I am on the hunt for an office job. I will come up with a new series of blog posts soon to showcase my resources!

Tutoring Tuesdays - May 1st, 2019

Happy Tuesday! Wow, it is already May! Time is flying by fast! Hang on teachers you'll be off for the summer soon, especially those of you who started in July and August!

Last year, I started working with the 3rd grader on factors using my Factors Task Cards. She found the factors and put them in order. She did quite a good job other than one of the higher numbers. I taught her if it is even you can always divide by 2. These come with 24 task cards in black and white only, a recording sheet, an answer key, and suggestions on using them. We played a game with them that you can see below. The game board does not come with these cards. In this game if you land on the rainbow poop you go back to start, but if you land on the unicorn you get to go again.

Next, we worked on more long division by 2 digits working on my Chicks 2 Digit Long Division Task Cards. We only got to do a couple as she had a hard time on the first problem due to focusing and making a lot of careless mistakes. I plan to keep working with her on this skill next week. She can absolutely do it as she flew through the 2nd problem pretty easily and I've seen her do it in the past! This is a 5th grade skill, this 3rd grader is doing! There are 24 task cards in color and black and white. It includes a recording sheet and answer key.

Tutoring Tuesdays - April 23rd, 2019

Happy Tuesday! It's been awhile since I've been able to tutor due to the last couple being canceled, but I finally got to tutor last Wednesday, the amazing 3rd grader! I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter!

Last week we continued working on 2 digit long division by 4 digit using my Easter 2 Digit Long Division With Remainders Task Cards. She did a great job on the division with some careless mistakes on the multiplication to check it. I see a lot of her in me as I made all kinds of careless mistakes in elementary school. Part of that was due to me going too fast. She doesn't fly through the work the way that I used to, thankfully! There are 24 task cards in color and black and white. I have included a recording sheet and answer key. If children write small enough they can write on the cards if laminated or put in plastic sleeves. Otherwise, use a white board for fun!

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 - January 29th, 2019

Happy Tuesday! Wow already the last week of January! 2 weeks ago I didn't tutoring, but I tutored again last week. I had a successful tutoring session as she did a fantastic job on several different skills.

We started out working on finding the denominator of a fraction using my Finding The Denominator Task Cards. You can have children circle the denominator if you laminate it. There are 24 task cards in black and white, a recording sheet, and cover page. These are FREE! Please leave positive feedback and a positive rating if you download it.

Next we worked on fractions of a whole number using my Fractions of a Whole Number Task Cards. We worked on 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4. There are 24 task cards for those and I have 24 more in my set for 1/5 through 1/9 for 48 task cards in all. These come on black and white only and there are 2 recording sheets and answer keys.

We then worked on multiplication tables. In class she has to do them in 3 minutes with the numbers mixed up like you see below. You can get these FREE in my VIP Facebook group. There are currently 24 of them with answer keys.

We finished tutoring doing several division problems using my New Year's Division Task Cards. You can see those in my previous blog post by clicking HERE. She even made up one on her own with 7 digits and solved it. She is a third grader! Impressive! These cards 4 digits.

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 - December 25th, 2018

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I meant to share my tutoring fun a little before Christmas, but got too busy. So I will share it the day after, even though it is now Wednesday. I tutor actually on Wednesdays, but share the week after. There will be no tutoring the next two weeks, but I do have some fun things for you including my most popular products for only $1.50! Stay tuned for that date. It will be soon!

This week I started working with her on very basic order of operations by learning to use the parentheses first. We used my new Ornaments Order of Operations Race, which you can currently only get in my VIP Facebook group. It is a FREE download!!! Join here.  There are 24 cards, a recording sheet, and answer key.

Next we worked on identifying fractions from using halves all the way to tenths using my new Clip It Identifying Fractions Task Cards. There are 24 task cards in all. There is a recording sheet and answer key. You don't have to have them clip it, you can have them just circle it if you prefer.

We finished tutoring working on some PreAlgebra using my PreAlgebra Balancing Number Equations Snowballs. This comes with a game board, recording sheet, and answer key. There are 24 cards in all. You can use them like traditional task cards and skip the game board if you prefer.

Tutoring Tuesdays - December 18th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Wow next will be Christmas. Where has time gone? I am tutoring Wednesday this week and usually post on the following Tuesday, but that will be Christmas day and people won't be on to read it so I may either post it early or right after Christmas. I hope each of you who celebrates has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Last week, we continued to work hard on long division strongly focusing on dividing by 6-9, but did work on some lower numbers too. This time we used my Elves Long Division With Remainders! It comes with 24 task cards in color and black and white plus a recording sheet and answer key so you can use it for Scoot or any other cooperative group activity, small groups, or centers! You can also put it with a game board like I do in tutoring. I also have her check the answer since she does that in school and it works on multiplication.

Tutoring Tuesdays - December 11th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Wow we are getting closer to Christmas. Even here in Florida we have had lows in the 40's on some days. That is freezing for me! I know you Northerners will laugh!

Please consider following on TPT by clicking here so you don't miss any new resources including freebies!

Like last time in Tutoring I started out giving her mixed addition and subtraction 4 digit regrouping and 4 digit multiplication by 1 digit. She got them all right!

We then moved on again to long division with 4 digits practicing mostly with dividing by 6, 7, 8, and 9. Her division was great, but she forgot sometimes to bring down the last number so we'll work on that more next week. We used my new Disguised Reindeer Long Division With Remainders Task Cards. There are 24 task cards in color and black and white that have the children dividing by 2 through 9 with 4 digits. A recording sheet and answer key are included. If they write really small they can write on the cards if laminated.

Tutoring Tuesdays - December 4th, 2018

Happy Tuesday and happy December! I hope each of you had a great Thanksgiving who celebrate here in the United States and that you also found some great bargains during Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

The week of Thanksgiving, I did not tutor, but I was back in action last week with the super smart 3rd grader! I started off giving her problems on the white board with adding money with regrouping, subtracting with regrouping, and multiplying 4 digits by 1 digit.

We next continued to work on long division with my Christmas Gifts Long Division With Remainders Task Cards. I threw in more cards that had dividing by 6, 7, or 8 along with some easier ones. She did a great job! These come with 24 task cards in color and black and white with dividing by 2's through 9's. An answer key and recording sheet are also included.

Tutoring Tuesdays - November 13th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! We are getting closer to Thanksgiving here in America. I want to thank all of the Veterans for their service to our country. Thank you so much for fighting for our freedom. You are amazing men and women! 

This week for tutoring we did a few PreAlgebra questions using my Fall Leaves PreAlgebra Balancing Equations Task Cards. Can you believe in 3rd grade they are doing PreAlgebra? I goofed and had the n in place of the 2nd number in the first equation. I guess she has only done it in the 1st place and was confused so we just flipped it. This set of task cards comes with an optional board game. Land on a + space go ahead that many spaces, but land on a - space go back that many spaces. There are 24 task cards in color only with a recording sheet, and answer key.

Next we worked more on long division with remainders by using my Thanksgiving Long Division with Remainders Task Cards. These task cards are for dividing by 2, 3, 4, and 5. They are in color and black and white and come with a recording sheet and answer key.

Tutoring Tuesdays - November 6th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I hope your kiddos had a great Halloween! 

I surprised her by dressing up as The Cat in the Hat. They have a dog and the dog wasn't quite sure what to think of me and didn't like me dressed up so they had to put the dog in the parents room. The dog likes to chase their cat and well I was a cat. It was an interesting adventure, but the 3rd grader loved my outfit! 

Last week we continued working on long division with 4 digits and remainders using my Haunted House Long Division Task Cards with dividing by 2, 3, 4, and 5. She also checked each answer on the white board. If students write large they will need scrap paper or a white board for the long division. There are 24 task cards in color and black and white, plus a recording sheet. This one is available for FREE in my VIP Facebook group!

Tutoring Tuesdays - October 30th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Wow, tomorrow is Halloween! Where has time gone? I get such few if any Trick or Treaters at my house so I don't get to see all the incredible costumes that get more and more creative every year. Feel free to share pictures of your own kiddos all dressed up on my Facebook page or VIP group! Also don't forget to follow my store so you don't miss any resources including freebies! 

We are continuing to work extra hard on long division this time with 4 digits. We used my Skeletons Long Division Task Cards. These cards are dividing by 2, 3, 4, and 5. There are 24 task cards in all in color and black and white. I have included a recording sheet and an answer key. Make it fun by adding a white board for your students to solve the problems. You can also have the student check the division as the child that I tutor does to make sure she got the correct answer.

What is your child(ren) dressing up as for Halloween? Let me know in the comments!
