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.
