Tutoring Tuesdays - July 3rd, 2018

Happy first Tuesday in July! I wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July who live in the United States. It is our Independence Day. 

This week I am just sharing the cards I used during tutoring rather than showing how I use them with a game. Most of them do not come with a game. You can use any of them with any game you have or buy other products in my store that have a game and combine them. 

I started tutoring by introducing comparing numbers in the thousands by using my Patriotic Comparing Numbers in the Thousands Task Cards. There are 24 cards in all and it comes with a game board, recording sheet, and answer key. They are only in color. You can use them like traditional task cards. By laminating the cards, children can write on them with dry erase markers and wipe them when done.  Grab it for $1 on July 3rd and 4th, 2018.

Next I taught her how to compare fractions with like denominators using my popular Comparing Fractions with Like Denominators Task Cards. There are 24 cards, a recording sheet, and answer key. The cards are only in color, but as you can see print really well in b/w. These can also be purchased as part of a fraction bundle! She did not miss a single question and this was the first time she has worked on comparing fractions! Impressive!!! Just like the others if laminated the student can write on the task cards with dry erase markers!

We finished tutoring by reviewing adding 4 digit numbers by using my new Jungle Animals 4 Digit Addition with Regrouping. There are 24 cards in color and black and white, a recording sheet, and answer key. Some of the questions have no regrouping so students must understand when to regroup and when not to regroup. She also did not miss a question!

Tutoring Tuesdays - May 8th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I want to also wish you had a Happy Teacher Appreciate Week. Thank you for everything you do for your students each and every day. I appreciate you! Don't forget to head over to check out my big sales going on this today and tomorrow by going HERE.

I finally got Firefox working so clicking on the pictures will take you to the product that you can purchase.

We started tutoring last Wednesday working on rounding to the nearest dollar using my Ice Cream Monsters Rounding to the Nearest Dollar Race. Students can use the fun game board like we did or you can use the task cards as traditional task cards. Land on a monster and it stole your ice cream go back to start, but land on an ice cream cone or sundae and you get to go again! So much fun! She only missed one question. A recording sheet and answer key are included.

Next we worked on adding money using my Adding Money Regrouping Task Cards. These task cards do not come with a board game, but we used my board game that comes with my Cinco de Mayo Sight Word game to make it more fun in tutoring. You can use it as traditional task cards. A recording sheet and answer key are included. She did not miss a single question!

We finished tutored working on Multiplication and Division Fact Families using my Multiplication and Division Fact Family Houses. There are 24 task cards included. If you laminate them students can write on them with a dry erase marker. I did include a recording sheet, but they will have to write very small to fit all 4 equations. Otherwise use notebook paper. An answer key is included. She didn't miss a single fact family! The example below was printed black and white on colored card stock. They are available in color and black and white.

Tutoring Tuesdays - February 13th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow for those who celebrate!

First I'd love to let you know that the TPT sale is going on Wednesday and Thursday, February 14th and 15th. Click on the picture to check out my store where even Bundles will be on sale. Bundles are already on sale for 20 to 30% off on a typical day. You'll be saving up to 55% off my bundles during the sale. You truly can't beat that! Be sure to use the code XOXO at checkout.

The 2nd grader was on top of her game as we had time to do several activities and games last week. We started out working on counting dollars and coins while writing it out with the dollar sign and decimal point. We used my Counting Dollars and Coins Task Cards. I put it with a game board like I usually do. The game board is not included with the set. It includes a recording sheet and answer key so you can play Scoot, Quiz, Quiz Trade, etc.

We next worked on Roman Numbers to 13 using my Roman Numerals Clip It Cards. She knew all but number 13!

We then did a quick multiplication game that I bought on TPT from another seller to practice multiplying by 2's. She only missed 2x0 and 2x1. She did terrific!

Next, we worked on telling time to the 5 minutes using my Telling Time to the 5 Minutes Task Cards. I again put it with a game board. We used my new unicorn game board. The game board is not included with this set of task cards, but the cards come with a bunch of suggestions!

Then we worked on mixed number fractions using my Mixed Number Clip It Cards. Here she was given a circle of a fraction, whole number, or mixed number and had to identify it.

We finished tutoring with a few 3 Digit Subtraction Task Cards that you can see in my previous blog post.

Tutoring Tuesdays - December 5th, 2017

Wow, it is already December! I hope each of you had a great Thanksgiving break and had a blast shopping until you dropped at the many stores and perhaps my little online stores. 😀

Last week, I started out reviewing 2 digit subtraction with the amazing 2nd grader. We used my new Christmas Trees 2 Digit Subtraction Regrouping Task Cards with the game board that comes with it. She did a great job!

Then we reviewed fractions with my new Ornaments Fractions of a Group! I brought out cups for her to put counters in them to help figure out the fraction of the group, but she didn't really need it. You can have the kids use those two colored circle counters or buy little erasers. Target, Amazon, etc. has cute little Santa ones that would work great with this activity. It includes a worksheet.

Tutoring Tuesdays - October 24th, 2017

One more week until Halloween. Wow time flies!!!

Last Wednesday, I started out working with the 2nd grader on practicing subtracting 9's by playing Pumpkin Subtracting 9 Bump. We worked on the trick I taught her to add 1 to the 2nd digit to get the answer. Example 15-9 = 5+1 so it is 6. Another example 17-9 = 7+1=8. Easy quick way to memorize it. Click the picture to grab it for FREE and be sure to leave positive feedback to show your appreciation. Remember it cost me money to make these free for you!

Next we worked on reviewing 2 digit by 2 digit subtraction regrouping with my Subtraction 2 Digit Regrouping Pumpkin Task Cards. It comes with a game board. Children make their way through the pumpkins and the first to the finish line wins. I laminate them so she can write on the cards. There is a recording sheet and answer key so you can use them with or without the game board. Click on the picture if you would like to use this in your classroom.

Tutoring Tuesdays - July 18th, 2017

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I had a blast tutoring again last Thursday.

We first worked on 2 digit subtraction with regrouping by using my 2 Digit Subtraction with Regrouping Frogs Task Cards. I put it with a game board that I have with another product. She does a terrific job of understanding how to regroup and she's only going into 2nd grade! Pretty impressive.  I again laminated the cards and let her write on them and wipe off. She asked for a mermaid game so I'll have to make a mermaid game for Thursday! Be looking for it!

Next we worked on my Apple Tally Marks Counting Puzzles. I gave her half of them to put together and she did an incredible job.

Then she worked on one of the Addition Wheels that I made. You can see the post I wrote about the Addition Wheels by going HERE.

Tutoring Tuesdays - June 11th, 2017

I hope everyone is off to a great start to this week! We've had a lot more rain here. I think we've finally had enough. Ha!

Thursday, in tutoring we first worked on 3 digit by 3 digit regrouping using my 3 Digit Regrouping Airplane Task Cards and the game that comes with it. The girl I tutor likes airplanes, especially purple ones so I thought she would like this game. If you land on an airplane you get to pretend to be an airplane and then go again! You can also use them as traditional task cards. Children can write on the cards if laminated. There is enough room to do so.

Next I introduced her to subtraction regrouping. We worked on my 2 Digit Subtraction Regrouping Robots Task cards. If you land on a robot you get to go again. We didn't have time to do too many problems, but she caught on very quickly and even told me how she was solving each problem. I teach her the traditional way, not Common Core, which I don't believe in and she doesn't have to do in private school. She's proof that the traditional way still works and that children can grasp the skill doing things traditionally.
