Cup of Cocoa (Math Freebie)

January 6, 2020

I hope your students came back to school ready and eager to learn! Today I want to share one of my favorite winter math freebies with you and show you some ways you can differentiate to support your struggling students. This is a great activity for practicing addition with 3-addends.
Are you working on addition with 3-addends? Not only do I have a freebie to share with you, but I have several ways you can offer more support for your struggling students.

Addition with 3-Addends

One of the ways to review math facts in January is with 3-addends. This Cup of Cocoa pack is designed to be used as a Scoot or Roam-the-Room activity. Students walk around the room and complete the task cards on the go. This helps get the wiggles out and gets them moving after sitting during your lesson. You can also use this activity in a math center. Simply place the cards on a ring for students to easily access and use.

Simply place the cards on a ring for students to easily access and use.
However, if you have a few students who need a little more support completing addition with 3-addends, you can bring the materials to your small group table. One of the ways to support struggling students is with a 20-frame card and manipulatives. Since this activity works with 3-addends, I suggest you have manipulatives in three different colors. The mini erasers from the Target Dollar Spot work really well, but you can also use cubes or counters. Students fill the frame in the same order as the task card. This works well with the first eight task cards that ask students to find the sum.When working on addition with 3-addends, students can use a 20-frame with three different colors of math manipulatives.
With the next eight task cards,  students are given the sum and two addends. For these problems, you can provide a number line and two clothespins. For example, look at the picture below. First, students would place the first clothespin on 18, which is the sum on the cocoa mug, or target number. Next, students would combine the other two addends (5+8) and use the second clothespin to mark 13. Finally, students would then count on from 13 to 18 to determine the missing addend (5). This is just one strategy to help students solve these types of problems.
To find the missing addend, students can use clothespins on a numberline.

If you are working on addition with 3-addends, these activities would be a great addition to your math rotations or centers.
Happy Teaching!

Sometimes a book comes along and I don’t think t Sometimes a book comes along and I don’t think twice before I press Add to Cart. This is one of those books and I think you’ll love it, too!💙

In this story, a family spends the day at the beach. One boy builds a sandcastle while his brothers play soccer nearby. When their ball crushes the sandcastle, it stirs up a variety of emotions. Dad sits down to help the boy acknowledge, name, and process his feelings. 

“Your feelings are yours - each one is okay.
What you’re feeling today may soon go away.
Listen to your emotions - learn how to name them.
Then you’ll know better how to explain them.”

The message that it’s perfectly normal to have a wide range of feelings is one that boys need to hear more often. Pete Oswald has paired his rhyming text beautifully with detailed illustrations that only enhance this must-read book!💙 Swipe to take a peek inside.

“Life is better with friends. They make the good “Life is better with friends. They make the good times better and the tough times easier to bear.” Unknown

What do you love to do when you’re with your friends? If you are anything like me, it’s not about WHAT you do, but WHO you spend your time with. That’s just one reason I was drawn to Nothing’s Wrong.

In this story, Anders and Jeff are headed out for a picnic. After baking the most delicious apple pie, Anders discovers it was ruined by the rain. Worried it will spoil their outing, Anders pretends that nothing’s wrong, but Jeff gets the sense that his friend isn’t being honest. 
 
Should he give his friend space? 
Should he check in with his friend?
Should he help him out?
Or should he just be there by his side?

How can Jeff be a good friend if he doesn’t know what his friend might need?

This book combines laugh-out-loud humor with a heartwarming message about true friendship. It reminds readers that even when nothing seems to go right, a good friend will be there for you at the end of the day.

Birdie usually has no problem creating masterpieces. However, as the end of the school year gets closer, she’s struggling to get creative.

Have no fear, the Storytellers are here!

Soon, Birdie’s school supplies hatch a plan to spark wonder, build curiosity, and inspire new ideas. Will this plan get Birdie’s creative juices flowing, or will she be defeated yet again by her nemesis, the blank page?
