 Superhero Bump Addition and Subtraction uses cards and counters or cubes.

Also, new to my store is my Winter Primary Reading and Math Centers.  This is perfect for Kindergarten and 2nd grade and also for struggling 2nd graders as many of these skills are reviewed at the beginning of the year.  The centers include Addition to 5, 12, and 20, Subtraction to 5 and from 10, Decomposing Numbers, Counting Pennies and Nickels, Sight Words, CVC Words, and CVCe Words.  Many of these have already been tried out during tutoring and the children have been so engaged they are asking to play again and again!  2 freebies in the preview!!!

I have also bundled up my Fraction Task Cards.  This set includes Comparing Fractions with Like Denominators, Comparing Fractions with Unlike Denominators, Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Like Denominators, Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators, Fraction Word Problems, and Multiplying Fractions.  You can also buy each set on their own.  You can get those for 28% off the bundle price by using HEROES!  Click the picture!

Thanks for being a hero!  Please know that your hard money is helping me make a living since I don't have a teaching job right now.  Once I get a job all my money I earn from my store goes right back into the classroom.

Addition Unit: Interactive Student Notebook (ISN) - The Right Way!

If you missed my last blog post Interactive Student Notebooks that explained how to do them correctly click HERE to go read all about it!

This addition unit includes the Preview, Interactive, and Process pieces that make Interactive Student Notebooks (ISNs) useful for you and your students.  By using all 3 components you can see what your student's already know, guide them, and find out what they have learned.  As explained in an earlier piece you can take give them a grade on it!  It would work well as a formative.

St. Patrick's Day New Products

Are you following me on Teacher's Pay Teachers?  If not you are missing my newest St. Patrick's Day creations.

I made a wonderful packet recently filled with St. Patrick's Day centers geared toward a 2nd grade level.  They are all common core aligned.  Your students can practice regrouping, counting coins with my popular word problem task cards, sorting aw/au words, contraction match, and more!  Click the pictures to check them out!

The next new St. Patrick's Day product is my Leprechaun's Mixed Up Addition Gold Rush Center.  It uses addition facts for 7's through 9's.  Children find the correct addition sentence on the coin and match it up with the sum on the pot of gold.  There is a black and white worksheet available as well where they paste the number sentences on the pot of gold!
