Tutoring Tuesdays - February 27th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Wow, already the last Tuesday of February. Where has time gone?

Last week I started out working with the 2nd grader on 4 Digit Subtraction using my 4 Digit Subtraction Regrouping Task Cards. Yes she is working on 4 digit problems in 2nd grade. She did a pretty good job. I put it with a game board that she chose. This game board does not come with these cards. You can use the cards as traditional task cards. It comes with a recording sheet and answer key.

Next we worked on multiplication. We focused on multiplying with factors of 0, 1, and 2 using my Winter Animals Multiplication Games. If she landed on a winter animal she got to go again. There are 14 games included in this set.

We then worked more on Roman Numerals using my Roman Numeral Task Cards. We especially worked on numbers in the 30's, 40's and 50's.

We finished tutoring with a little bit of telling time to the 5 minutes using elapsed time to the hour, hour and half, and two hours. We used my Telling Time the 5 Minutes Task Cards. I added a spinner that I created that I plan to add as an exclusive freebie sometime soon in my Facebook Group. We again used a game that is sold with other products that you can purchase HERE.

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 - 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 - August 23rd, 2017

Happy Tuesday! I hope each of you got to see the eclipse yesterday. That was really cool! We didn't have full totality but 89% was still awesome!


Last week, we reviewed comparing numbers to 100 using my Comparing Numbers to 120 Task Cards and a game board that doesn't come with the task cards. Usually I laminate the cards but this time I let her write the answers on a dry erase board. It does come with a recording sheet and answer key if you would like to use it for Scoot or any other cooperative group activity. She struggled in school as she hadn't done this skill in several months, but after the first couple of reviewing it she didn't miss another question. She did incredible!!!

Next we worked on reviewing telling time to the 5 minutes using my Racing into The Sun - Telling Time to the 5 Minutes game. This game also comes with a recording sheet if you would like to use it for cooperative group activities.

We finished by reviewing 9 facts using my apple race game that I mentioned previously.

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!
