Tutoring Tuesdays - June 12th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is out for the summer now in the United States.

Last week in tutoring, I started out tutoring working on multiplying 11 or 12 by 0 through 5 using my Summer Monsters Multiplication Race. The cards in this set have all products from 0 to 12. I just took out these specific equations to work on with her. If you land on a monster you have to go back to start! Tons of fun!!!

Next, I had her work on putting numbers in the hundreds in order since she had a mega ton of difficulty with putting numbers in the thousands in order the week before. We used my new FREE Beach Buckets Ordering Numbers in the Hundreds. Please leave positive feedback and rating for my hard work. Remember it cost me money to purchase the clip art and fonts. She did a fantastic job, so we went back to working on ordering numbers in the thousands using the Popsicles from last week. She got 8 out of 10 right this time.

I also reviewed with her how many days in a year, month, week, and some metric conversions. I plan to do that quite a bit especially the metric conversions until she has it ingrained in her head. Then I had her measure a few things on a free measuring page I found on TPT. 

We finished tutoring by reviewing dividing by 3, 4, and 5 using my Unicorns Division Race. Land on a unicorn you get to go again, but land on the rainbow poop and you have to go back to start. So much fun!!! Facts go from 0 to 12's in this game. I just pull the cards that I plan to use for tutoring.

 

As always, thanks for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling!

 

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 - May 29th, 2018

I'm back! Happy Tuesday! I didn't tutor two weeks ago, but I was back to tutoring last Wednesday. I can't believe that May is almost over. The kids are out for the summer in the county that I live in.

We started out working on multiplication facts playing a Bump game that I downloaded free from another seller.

Next, I worked on with her ordering numbers to the thousands as she had some trouble with that this school year. We used my Beach Buckets Ordering Numbers to 1,000 Task Cards. I had her order them from least to greatest. That is how I have the answer key set, but you can have them order them from greatest to least if you want. There are 10 sets of cards.

We finished tutoring working on some division playing by playing my Summer Trolls Division Race game. Land on a troll you get to go again, but land on a monster it chases you back to start!

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

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.

Tutoring Tuesdays - September 5th, 2017

Many of you are finally back teaching the kiddos. I wish you a successful school year!


Last Thursday, we reviewed telling time to the 5 minutes with the amazing 2nd grader! We played Apple Race Time to the 5 Minutes. After telling the time, the student rolls one die (dice) or a spinner and moves that many spaces. Watch out for the worm as it will send you back to start. There is also a recording sheet and answer key so if you would prefer to use them like traditional task cards for Scoot or another game or activity you can!

Then we reviewed comparing numbers to 120 with my Clip It School Comparing Numbers to 120. It is perfect for also working on fine motor skills as children clip the answer. I have also included a recording sheet and answer key if you would prefer to use it for Scoot or another activity. You can also laminate them and have the students circle the answer.

Next we worked more on 9's addition facts with my FREEBIE Crayons 9 Addition Facts Race where children solve an addition problem on crayons and move around the game board. Some of the notebook papers on the game board say to go back to start or go again.

We finished tutoring reviewing putting numbers in order using my Number Order to 120 Task Cards. I put them with a game board that I have as she likes playing games. You can put them with any game board or play Scoot, Quiz, Quiz trade or any other cooperative group game, place at a center, use for early finishers, etc. There is a recording sheet and answer key included!

Freebie Friday - Expanded Notation

Here is a fun game on expanded notation to 120 focusing on 1st grade common core standard for place value.  Children can play concentration match or go fish while matching the expanded notation with the answer.  If you enjoy this game be sure to take a look at my place value unit!

My place value unit was requested by a wonderful fan.  The numbers go to 120 making it a perfect fit for 1st grade classrooms or a great review in 2nd grade.  I am working on one for 2nd grade as well so be on the look out!  What skills would you like to see me make?  Post in the comments below and I will try to get to as many of them as I can.  Next up I will be working on a June fun behavior note (I know I'm far behind thanks to computer trouble, but all is fixed now) and more fraction fun!

Click the picture for your freebie!  Don't forget to rate nicely and leave a nice comment.  You will bring a smile to my face and it only takes a minute to do!

Here is the place value unit!  It also includes comparing numbers, problem solving task cards, ordering, numbers, number words, etc.  Worksheets and answer keys are included!

Positive Fridays shall return in early August!  I can't wait!!!  Thanks for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings.  Don't forget to smile!
