Tutoring Tuesdays - August 14th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Kids here in Central Florida are already back in school! Has school started where you live? Let me know in the comments!

We switched tutoring to Mondays from Wednesdays last week. I will still be posting a recap of the fun things we did on Tuesday for the previous Monday (the week before) to give me time to take pictures and write the blog post.

This week we started out reviewing multiplication by multiplying 0 through 5 by 11 or 12 using my Back to School Multiplication Race game. These cards have 0 facts all the way to 12 facts. I just print the ones who are working on! It comes with a fun game board.

Next we worked more on elapsed time by the hour and a half when given a clock that has the time to the hour or half hour. We used my Telling Time to the Hour and Half Hour Task Cards. I blogged about how I used those cards for Elapsed Time HERE.

We then worked on comparing numbers to the thousands and ten thousands using my Comparing Numbers to the Millions Task Cards. I put it with a game board that is not included, but you can use it as traditional task cards. If they are laminated students can write on them with a dry erase marker. It comes with a recording sheet and answer key.

We finished tutoring by me asking her how many days in a week, year, how many months, and converting inches to feet, feet to yards, quarts to gallons, etc.

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

Tutoring Tuesdays - July 10th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I hope those of you in America had a great 4th of July! The next two weeks I won't have a Tutoring Tuesdays post as the family is on a fun vacation!

Last week, we started tutoring working on filling in the missing number in multiplication equations with one of the factors being no more than 5 using my Summer Crabs Multiplication Missing Number Equations Task Cards. There are 24 task cards, a recording sheet, answer key, and fun game board. Land on a crab and you get clawed back to start!

 

I finished tutoring helping her learn elapsed time to the hour and a half. We used my Telling Time to the Hour and Half Hour Task Cards. I had her tell me what time it is and then tell me what the time would be if it was an hour and half later. I first had her tell me an hour later and then add the half an hour. This is a very tough concept and I will continue to work with her on this. Toward the end of teaching her this concept her mom brought out an alarm clock that had the hands so I could turn the clock and she could see the hands move.

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 - October 17th, 2017

Halfway through the month. Where has time gone? Let's get to the tutoring fun from last week!

First we worked on skip counting using my Skeleton Skip Counting Task Cards, which comes with this fun board game. Land on a skeleton and you get chased back to start. The cards are for 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, and 10's. 2's, 5's, and 10's have patterns up to 100 where 3's and 4's go no higher than 30. Click the picture to grab it!

Next we worked on telling time to the hour and half hour. We used my Telling Time to the Hour and Half Hour Drawing Hands Task Cards. If laminated children can write on the cards. There is also a recording sheet and an answer key. The recording sheet has the clocks on it so your student can draw the hands on the recording sheet after looking at the task card to see what time to draw in case you want them to turn something in. This game board is NOT included, but you can get it with my Witches Sight Word Race. I used the game board to make the task cards fun in tutoring. Land on a spell book you must go back to start! Click on either picture to grab it.

Last we worked on subtracting 9 using my Trick or Treat Subtraction Race game. The game has subtraction facts to 20.

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!

Tutoring Tuesdays - April 18th, 2017

Last week I actually didn't tutor, but went to a birthday party for the girl I tutor. The kids had so much fun bouncing in a bounce house and her dad hooked up a bubble machine that was very cool! I found out she loves Robots so I have been working hard making some robot teaching products.

Today, I will share some things I used for tutoring in the past.

To practice telling time to the 5 minutes I used this clock. The minutes are self checking as you can lift up the tabs to see how many minutes. I made clocks like these for 2nd graders many years ago.

After doing some telling time with the clock I made we played a game Apple Race Time to the 5 Minutes using these task cards. A game board is also included that I didn't take a picture of.

These 3 Digit Addition Task Cards I used with one of my sight word game boards Fish Sight Word Race to help making adding 3 numbers more fun. We did not use the sight words just the game board from it. Task cards are so perfect with game boards. I laminate the task cards so they can be written on with dry erase markers making them even more fun! They work well in the classroom, in tutoring, or home school.

Check back next week to see what I do this Thursday in tutoring with robots!

Thank you for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling'!
