Tutoring Tuesdays - September 11th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I hope those who finally started back with their kiddos had a great first week of school! Today is a sad day in our history. I know many of you remember 9/11. Prayers to all the family members of those whose who lost a loved one on that very sad day.

We started off tutoring by counting dollars and coins using my Counting Dollars and Coins Task Cards. This is also available in a huge bundle! I had her write the amount using the dollar sign and decimal point on a white board. If you would prefer there is a recording sheet that they can write the answers on. I put it with a game board as always, which doesn't come with the cards, but any game board would work!

Next we worked on drawing hands on a clock to the 5 minutes. I wrote the digital time and she drew the hands on the clock. The clocks are available from Graphics from the Pond.

We finished tutoring reviewing rounding to the ten's place using my Fall Zombies Rounding to the Ten's Place Task Cards. Students who land on a Zombie get chased back to start! It also comes with a recording sheet and answer key if you prefer to use them to play Scoot or hold them accountable at a center!

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

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.

Freebie Fridays - January 20th, 2017

Wow, already the 3rd Friday of January! Time is zipping by. I believe those in the southern hemisphere are back in school, correct me if I am wrong! Welcome back and I wish you a successful year. Now on to the FREEBIES!

Kids seem to LOVE I Have, Who Has games! This is an older one I made that I know your students will love. "I Have, Who Has Real and Nonsense CVC Short A Words" will help make sure your students understand the CVC rule. I also love this game because children have to listen. There are no start or stop cards with my version. The reason is simple you can start with any card any time you play, thus making it a slightly different game. When it gets back to the first card, the game is over. None of the store bought ones that I used many years ago had start or stop cards either. If you enjoy the game please leave positive feedback for my hard work. Remember I buy the clip art even for free products so I very much appreciate it when you take a minute to leave that feedback.

Task Card Fun

If you follow my TPT and TN stores you know that I have been cranking out Task Cards. Most of my Task Cards are 6 to a page to help you save paper. My basic addition and subtraction to 10 Task Cards are 4 to a page so I could make the text larger for the little ones.

Some ideas for using task cards:

• Early Finishers
• Centers
• Have students paste them in a Math journal and then show their work under the question.
• Play Scoot, Quiz, Quiz Trade, Numbered Heads Together, or other Kagan Cooperative Group activities.

The following are my newest Task Cards, which you can get on TPT by clicking TPT or TN to get on TN.


          Multiplication               TPT   or   TN                                                  

 
        Counting Coins                TPT    or   TN

Addition and Subtraction Regrouping    TPT    or    TN

 
            Elapsed Time                       TPT

 





If you have suggestions for task cards please list them in the comment.  I love to make resources that benefit my loyal customers!
