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 - January 30th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! The last Tuesday of the month. Where has time gone?

Last Tuesday, we started working on reading a thermometer and telling the temperature if it was 5 degrees higher or lower using a thermometer where that counted by 5's using my Temperature Task Cards. The task cards come with 24 where the student tells the exact temperature and 24 where the student tells the temperature if it was 5 degrees more or less. For tutoring, I put it with my groundhog game board that can be found in many of my groundhog products HERE. The game is not included with these task cards. They can be used to play Scoot, Quiz Quiz Trade, etc.

Next, we worked on counting dollars with my Counting Dollar Bills Task Cards. We worked on counting one dollar bills and then one dollar with five dollar bills. The 24 task cards include bills to $20. I put this one with my Bug in My Marshmallow game that can be found HERE. The game again is not included with the money task cards.

We finished working with 1 more or one less using my print and play game boards from my Valentine's Day One More or One Less Centers. In the game pictured students roll one dice and tell what number comes next. There is another game where they roll one dice and tell what number comes right before. Numbers are between 100 and 1,000. Land on a bunny you get to go again but watch out for the monster as it will send you back to start!

Tutoring Tuesdays - January 23rd, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great Monday.

Last Wednesday, I tutored the wonderful 2nd grader. I started out reviewing 2 digit Subtraction and also a few cards for 2 digit Addition. We used my Snowman 2 Digit Subtraction Regrouping Task Cards and Snowman 2 Digit Addition Regrouping Task Cards. We especially worked hard on the Subtraction ones with a difference of 1 digit in the ones place like 8 and 9 or 4 and 3. The board game I used with her is NOT included with the task cards. The board game comes with my Snowman Sight Word Race game.

We spent the last half of tutoring again working on 1 More or 1 Less. We used my new Valentine's Day One More, One Less Race game from the centers pack. I wrote One's, Ten's, and Hundred's on a white board and had her draw to show how many one's, ten's, and hundreds. I then had her show one more or one less and circle groups of ten and move them over to the next place or cross out a ten or hundred to borrow 10 tens or 10 ones. I used this strategy to hope that helps her understand the ones where carrying or borrowing would occur if writing it out as a math problem. This does come with a game board. Plus some other fun centers.

Tutoring Tuesdays - January 16th, 2018

Welcome back to Tutoring Tuesdays! After a couple of weeks off of tutoring I tutored last Wednesday. I hope each of you enjoyed your extra day off this week celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr.

This week we mostly worked on 1 more or 1 less to 1,000. I focused mostly on numbers where the hundred's or ten's place changes as that is where she has difficulty. For example what comes after 299 or 349. What comes before 500 or 750. We used my new Numbers to 1,000 Penguins Race. As she showed me again if the kids write really tiny on the cards it will fit the numbers, but I recommend using a white board or the recording sheet that is included. It comes with a game board or you can use it for Scoot, Quiz Quiz Trade, etc.

That took most of the hour. Then we worked on measurement to the nearest half inch. I planned to work on the nearest quarter inch with her, but her mom told me she had just had difficulty with half inch so I used these cards for half inch instead. The answer key that comes with my Measurement to the Nearest Quarter Inch Penguins is for quarter inch, but use it as you see fit. I made them both with the box in case you want to laminate them and cut them out for a mini center or small group or without the box to be used as a worksheet. You can download this for FREE by clicking on the picture! Did I say FREE? Yup! Please leave positive feedback if you like this center/printable. Remember it cost me money to create this for you as I pay for the clip art and the fonts. Thank you!

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

One More One Less Freebie

One of the wonderful clip art artist contacted me on my blog stating the images appeared squished to her.  I guess they weren't proportionally correct.  I had no idea as no one has said anything to me about that with any of my products.  She gave me the helpful hint on how to fix it.  I did so and my FB fans liked it better.  I very much thank Ashley Hughes!  The clip art is from her!  It was very sweet of her to contact me to help me make my products even better!

So starting with this product Adding One (one more) Subtracting One (One Less) Games I will be working to make sure my images are proportional.  This will leave more white space instead of taking up the box.  Thus less ink for you!  

Anyway, if you have not seen this game, it is perfect for Kindergarten through 2nd grade students.  One game is played like bump.  Students roll the two dice and add them together.  Then add one more!  They cover that space on the board.  If the next player rolls the same number they can bump them off unless they have two counters already on it. 

The next game subtracting one less.  Students take turns picking 2 cards and subtracting them to find the difference.  They cover that space on the game board with a counter.  The first to get 4 in a row wins.
