COIN TOSS GAME

Many students need a lot of opportunities to identify, sort, and count coins. This coin toss game will help your students practice these skills in a fun way and it can easily be differentiated for your students.

Materials

There are a few things your students will need to play this coin toss game.

  • coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters)
  • container to hold the coins
  • Coin Toss Sorting Mat
  • Coin Toss Results recording sheet
  • pencil

Coin Toss Game Directions

Place students into partnerships. Determine each child’s role (one is heads and the other is tails).

Do your students need more practice with counting coin combinations? Try a game! This coin toss game is easy to set up and your students will have fun while learning.

One student will gently shake the coin container and pour the coins onto the sorting mat. Both students will sort the coins into two groups: heads and tails. Each student will begin counting their assigned coins to determine the total value of their coins. For example: I have 3 dimes, 2 nickels, and 7 pennies on my side of the sorting mat. My total would be 47 cents, or $0.47.

Students will check each other’s work and when in agreement, students will record the data on the recording sheet. Students continue playing until the recording sheet is full or until time is up. The winner is the player who wins the most rounds of the game.

Note – you can place the recording sheet in a sheet protector or dry erase sleeve to save copies. Students will record their work with a dry erase marker. This allows students to play the game multiple times with only one game mat.

Ways to Differentiate the Game

Since students come with all skills and abilities, here are several ways you can differentiate this game:

  • types of coins included
  • amount of coins in the container
  • adult to support students with playing the game
  • counting the number of coins rather than the total amount
  • determine whether the total amount of coins is odd or even
  • find the difference between each partner’s coin values
  • find the total value of all the coins

We put away all the fall books and decorations bec We put away all the fall books and decorations because my kids are ready to countdown to Christmas. That means it’s time to share a brand new book from a favorite series just in time for the holidays: 
Elves are the Worst!

Everyone knows that elves have a reputation of being the hardest workers around—especially when it comes to the holiday season—but as far as Gilbert the Goblin is concerned that’s nothing but ho-ho-hogwash. A goblin’s to-do list is just as long as any elf’s; they just don’t feel the need to sing songs about it.

To prove he can outperform any reindeer-watching, wrapper-paper-wielding, toy-tinkering elf, Gilbert puts on his merriest disguise to infiltrate Santa’s workshop. But can one lone goblin do the work of a whole team of elves?

Over the last 10 years, these have become well-known names in many classrooms and homes. These Questioneers have inspired kids to dream big, work hard, and to follow their passions. Now we get to learn more about their teacher, Lila Greer.

This book tells the story of a young Lila Greer who is filled with worries, big and small. When her family moves to a new town, she feels invisible and alone. There is one person who sees her: Lila’s teacher, Ms. Kern. Through some creativity, kindness, and even blackboard erasers, Ms. Kern manages to make Lila feel welcome and open to new experiences - something that resonates with Lila on her journey to becoming the teacher we’ve seen all along.

The school’s spring art show is coming up and Si The school’s spring art show is coming up and Sienna is excited! But when she gets to the art table, all the crayons are gone except dark brown and light brown. How can she make a special picture for the art show? 

Her teacher tries to cheer her up by telling her that lots of wonderful things are brown. So Sienna imagines some of her favorite things ― her grandma’s rose garden🌹, her new bicycle🚲 , and rainbows🌈 ― but none of them are brown! 

Her friends remind her that chocolate🍫 is brown, and so is the bear🐻 at the zoo. Sienna draws both with her friends, but neither picture seems special enough. In the end, Sienna comes up with an idea for a drawing that’s perfect for the art show.🤎

This book celebrates family, diversity, and creativity. It would make a great addition to your home or school library. Swipe to take a peek inside!

Jory John and Pete Oswald continue to amaze me with their ability to take life lessons that kids need to learn and turn them into picture books that appeal to both kids AND adults. As a bonus, there are stuffed animals for  each character (The Good Egg is on the reverse side of The Bad Seed).

Thanksgiving is TWO weeks away and we are excited Thanksgiving is TWO weeks away and we are excited to spend time with family. While we wait, we’ll be diving into our favorite books. Which books will you be reading this month?🧡
We’re heading into that time of year when I wond We’re heading into that time of year when I wonder just how many days we can go without someone being sick in our house. Taking sick days can throw a wrench into anyone’s plans, but for teachers, it brings on a whole new set of issues. Mrs. Hartwell is back in Sick Day Jitters, and I think my teacher friends will really relate to this one!

When the substitute teacher doesn’t show up, the other adults in the building pitch in. The art teacher runs a writing workshop, the school nurse teaches science, and the math teacher leads reading! Alternating perspectives show the day from the students’ point of view and from Mrs. Hartwell’s as the kids keep her informed through a flurry of humorous electronic updates.
