Math Workshop, Part 3

August 3, 2012

Math Workshop Binder
Divider #5 – Number Grids
This section has expanded greatly since I have joined the blogging world.  First, I have a four-page document of activities involving the number grid.

Next, I have a few 100 grids with just a few numbers written on them.  You could have the kids fill these out as an entry task or review.  I use them as ways to practice following directions.  I will pass out a copy to all of my students and give directions on which numbers to fill out based upon the numbers already provided.  For example:  Write the number that is 10 more than 37.  Write the number that is 3 less than 21.  The great news about this activity is you can do this activity over several days because you won’t be filling in many numbers all at one time.

I found many, many wonderful freebies over at Lil’ Country Kindergarten.  Even though she created them for her kindergarteners, these worksheets provide a fun way for second graders to work with a number grid while following written directions.  Here is just one example of Lil’ Country Kindergarten’s finished number grids:

Another idea I found via Pinterest.  Here is the picture I found:
I tracked down the source to a site called Carol’s Cutting Edge.  I love this idea.  All you need to do is print your hundreds grid puzzles on to colored cardstock paper.  Cut your grid into however many pieces you would like and place into a Ziploc baggie.  I suggest labeling each baggie (Set 1, Set 2, etc.) AND label the back of each puzzle piece with the set number. 
 Finally, I have the masters for my number grid task card sets & recording sheet.  I have several sets (less than 100, less than 1,000, and more than 1,000).  When it is time to work, students grab the task card set and a recording sheet (assigned for differentiated learning).  Each set has the same puzzle pattern shapes in the baggie, but with different numbers on them.  This means I can use the same recording sheet each time.  There is a spot on the recording sheet to write the set number the student is working on.  Here is a peek at some of the cards from the various sets:

    Storie…I'm going to say it again: this is a fabulous resource! I'm wondering if I can get mine together before school starts on MONDAY! If nothing else, I can get a start on it, I suppose. Would you mind sharing your 4-page doc you have at the beginning of the number grid section? Thanks again for posting about your binder!

Groundhog Day is almost here. Will he his shadow? Groundhog Day is almost here. Will he his shadow? Only time will tell! One book I love to read this time of year is Groundhog Weather School. Not only does this book provide a bit of the history behind the holiday, but it also includes information about weather and the seasons. If you’re sharing this book, be sure to grab these free activities to help guide your students through the text. They are available in my TPT store.

Which one are you hoping for?
❄️ more winter

At school, Monique wore a uniform every single day. But looking just like everyone else was not for her. One day, she found a huge, red hat in a trunk in the attic and decided she’d wear it to school. Everyone noticed her and had something to say, which made Monique smile…until a teacher told her she had to take off the hat. 

The next day, everyone at school was wearing a hat - everyone except Monique, who was already planning something new to wear the following day. With each new idea and accessory that makes Monique unique comes a series of kids who copy and mimic her style. Can she find a way to be different?

This book is often hard to find, but has a great message about individuality and celebrating that it’s okay to be different! Have you read this one yet?

The holiday books have been put away. That means o The holiday books have been put away. That means our shelf is ready for a fresh stack of books to share for bedtime stories. Here’s what came home with me on my latest trip to the local library. 

👀 See any titles that catch your eye?
I may introduce a lot of books to you here on the I may introduce a lot of books to you here on the gram, but sometimes YOU are the ones who introduce books to me. This is one of those stories.

Sarah lives alone in her little house now that her children are all grown up. Every time she looks out her window, she sees the neighborhood children waiting for the bus. One winter morning she notices a boy who doesn’t have mittens. This worries her, so she gathers some supplies and sets out to knit him a new pair. Once finished, she hangs them on the tree next to the bus stop. 

When the boy finds the mittens the next day, he quickly tries them on and beams at their perfect fit. Sarah’s heart is filled with joy and it isn’t long before she makes even more mittens to hang on the tree. The kids look forward to finding these new treasures each morning at the bus stop. Sarah is sure that no one knows it is her adding to the mitten tree until one day she returns home and finds a surprise waiting for her - a basket filled with beautiful balls of yarn.

This heartwarming story has a great message about kindness, community, and the joy that comes from helping others. It would make a great addition to your winter book collection!

Have you read The Mitten Tree?

I might share a lot of picture books, but I do lov I might share a lot of picture books, but I do love chapter books, too. One of my favorites for January is Mr. Popper’s Penguins. While this story has been around for decades, it still manages to entertain readers of all ages. ⁣
⁣
If you aren’t familiar, Mr. Popper is a housepainter who daydreams about polar expeditions. One day he receives a real penguin and his world turns upside down. Soon after the penguin grows lonely and the Poppers add a second penguin to their home. It isn’t long before they have 10 penguin chicks, making that 12 penguins in all! With so many mouths to feed, Mr. Popper realizes he will have to do something to bring in more money. That’s when Popper’s Performing Penguins gets started. The show goes on tour and plenty of hilarious antics begin!⁣
⁣
I used this book with some of my reading groups in both 2nd and 3rd grade with the help of a few resources to guide students through the text (comprehension questions for each chapter, vocabulary activities, graphic organizers, and more). There’s also a penguin craft, which was a big hit! This resource is available in my TPT store. Drop a 🐧 in the comments or send me a DM if you’d like the link. ⁣

Have you ever felt like you don’t quite fit in? Have you ever felt like you don’t quite fit in? Or maybe you’ve let the opinions of others creep into your mind  and start to doubt yourself? If so, I think you should read Lone Wolf.⁣
⁣
In this story, Maple is a member of the Parker family. She loves playing tug-of-war with Jax, reading with Avery, getting treats, and going for looooooooong walks. But wherever she goes, people comment that she looks more like a wolf than a dog. The Parkers explain the difference between a husky and a wolf, but Maple starts to have her doubts. ⁣
⁣
One day, Maple sees the fence open and takes her chance to explore the wild as a lone wolf. Will Maple love this new lifestyle, or will she realize that home with the Parkers is where she truly belongs? ⁣
⁣
This charming story explores family, self-doubt, and finding the place where you belong. It would be a great story to share in the classroom or at home.⁣

Whether you’re headed back to the classroom this Whether you’re headed back to the classroom this week or next week, please don’t forget to make time to review your classroom rules and procedures. You can make this process a bit more enjoyable by sharing books. Sometimes these stories have a way of getting through when your words can’t. I put together a list of my favorites on my website.

When do students head back to school in your area?
