Arrays with Turkeys

My students needed a little extra practice with arrays and repeated addition, so today they worked with turkeys.

We also reviewed prefixes and suffixes with Roll and Read.  They worked in groups of 7 and they played well together in a larger group.  It's ideal to work in smaller groups to keep the game moving, but if they work well in larger groups then give it a try.  I only had 2 large dice so we used larger groups.

After playing the game (Roll and Read)  today, a helper passed out 7 cards to each student.  They wrote the words on the feathers and then used one word in a sentence.  This was another great activity to use when students spend the week testing! 

 

Descriptive Turkeys

I've created many descriptive picture writing activities that my students love each year, but I never created a turkey!?!?!   Now we have a turkey activity!

 

Place Value

Today we worked on finding the value of digits using the document camera and a set of my Place Value Task Cards.  My students need a lot of guidance, so instead of using them in math stations this is a great option. 

We completed the first 8 problems together and then they received copies of the cards to complete the next 16 on their own.  The colored monsters print just fine in black and white on the copier. 

 

 

There are 4 great activities included!
