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 - April 3rd, 2018

Happy April! I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter or Passover if you celebrate! I am not tutoring tomorrow as the 2nd grader is on spring break and her grandma is coming to visit so tutoring update will be in a couple of weeks.

Last Wednesday, we worked on perimeter again using my Perimeter Task Cards. I worked with her on squares some triangles. Some with missing numbers for the sides and some without. She did a great job and didn't miss a single one! I put it with an Easter game board, which doesn't come with these task cards. You can use the task cards traditionally as it does come with a recording sheet and answer key.

Next we worked on multiplication by 3 with my Panda Multiplication Race game. I had cards for all of the facts for your students so you can use what facts you would like to use. Some of the spaces have a number on it. You can have them go forward that many spaces or backwards if they land on it for added fun!

Then we worked on some fractions with 3rds. We worked on shading fractions with 3rds using my Shading Fractions Task Cards and then did a few with my Fractions of a Group Easter themed task cards. There's only a few of these task cards and you can grab them HERE. The picture takes you to the shading task cards.

Next we worked on Division by 3 using my Division Multiplication Bump Fluency Games. These are not yet available in my store. Be sure to follow my store and you will get an email when I add it to my store!
