Probability Party Game

 What a fun way to review the concept of probability! Your students will LOVE playing this game as a whole class, in small groups, or even in pairs! Your students will place 10 monster counters on any of the 12 spaces of the game board. They place their monsters, strategically, based on the probability of the roll of two dice. If they roll a number that a monster covers, they remove the monster to earn a point!

Great Free Math Site for Your Students

My kids have been enjoying a website for a couple of weeks now, and now that they are entered in one of their national contests they are even more excited.  Sumdog.com is a fun way for your students to practice math skills.  They have fun, flash based games that focus on multiple mathematics skills.  The website is free to use and teachers can set up their students with accounts to play.  They have a subscription version that unlocks more features; however, we have been fine with playing the free version so far.  

It is also free to have your students play every week in a national contest to win technology prizes for your school.  We started off the week in 316th place, then 253rd, and now 213th.  Pretty far from winning, but the kids love the competition.  They can also compete with others in their class which makes it more exciting and fun to play. 

Click on the picture above to head on over to their site and check it out.  I'm sure your students will love it as much as mine do!

Do you have any math sites that you use regularly in your classroom?  I would love to hear about them, as I am always on the look out for fun, educational, computer games to use in the classroom and our computer lab.
 

2nd Grade Common Core State Standards Management System!

THESE ARE THE STUDENT FRIENDLY OBJECTIVE POSTERS THAT COVER EVERY 3RD GRADE MATH COMMON CORE STANDARD.  YOU'LL NEVER NEED TO WRITE OBJECTIVES ON YOUR BOARD AGAIN, YOU CAN POST THESE INSTEAD!  IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT ALL THE PRINTING IN COLOR, CHECK OUT THIS BLOG POST ABOUT THE CHEAPEST INK AND BEST PRINTER I HAVE FOUND FOR TEACHERS.  INK IS UNDER $1.00 PER CARTRIDGE.

THESE ARE THE STUDENTS' CHECKLIST PAGES.  STUDENTS HAVE TO MASTER ALL PARTS OF A STANDARD TO EARN THE CORRESPONDING ANIMAL BADGE.  THE ANIMAL BADGES ARE WORTH BETWEEN 1 AND 7 POINTS.  I AM GOING TO HIGHLIGHT EACH PART OF THE STANDARD WHEN IT'S MASTERED.  WHEN THE SECTION IS ALL YELLOW, THE STUDENT WILL EARN THE ANIMAL BADGE FOR THAT STANDARD AND PLACE IT ON HIS/HER ZOO MAP.

THIS IS THE FRONT PAGE OF THE TEACHER'S PLANNING PACKET.  THIS IS A SEPARATE PLANNING FOLDER FOR THE TEACHER WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN THE STUDENTS' CHECKLIST PAGES.

THESE ARE THE TEACHER PLANNING PAGES.  EVERY 2nd GRADE MATH COMMON CORE STANDARD IS LISTED IN THIS TEACHER PLANNING PACKET.  THERE ARE AREAS FOR YOU TO PUT THE DATE(S) THAT YOU TAUGHT THE STANDARD AND WHAT ACTIVITIES YOU DID.  THERE IS ALSO A TEACHER'S NOTES SECTION AND AN AREA TO PLACE NAMES OF THE STUDENTS IN YOUR CLASS THAT MAY STILL BE STRUGGLING WITH THIS CONCEPT.

THESE ARE THE STUDENTS "ZOOKEEPER'S GUIDE TO LEARNING" WHERE THEY WILL COLLECT AND EARN THEIR ANIMALS FOR THEIR ZOO. THE NUMBER ON THE MAP CORRESPONDS TO AN ANIMAL DESIGNATED BY THE KEY.  WHEN A STUDENT MASTERS THAT GIVEN STANDARD, YOU IN RETURN GIVE THEM THE CORRESPONDING ANIMAL TO GLUE ON HIS/HER MAP.  I AM GOING TO HAVE A SET TIME WHERE I GIVE OUT THE ANIMAL BADGES IN GROUPS ABOUT ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO.

THESE ARE THE ANIMAL AWARD BADGES THAT THE STUDENTS EARN WHEN THEY MASTER THE DIFFERENT STANDARDS.  THEY WILL GLUE THESE ON THEIR ZOO MAPS WHEN THEY MEET A STANDARD.

I CREATED THIS 133 PAGE 2nd GRADE MATH STANDARDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BECAUSE:

• I wanted a guaranteed way that I would cover all of the standards.  
• I wanted a way to plan and track my teaching. 
• I wanted to be able to keep track of which math standards the students had mastered.
•   I also implemented an incentive system where students can earn "animal award badges" for each of the 3rd grade math common core standards that they master.
• In our district we have to post all of our objectives in student friendly terms.  Usually this is done first thing in the morning.  I wanted an easier way, so in this packet I created an objective poster for every 3rd grade math common core standard in student friendly terms so I will never have to write an objective on the board again.  
• All of the posters are divided by standard so they are easily accessible.

Everything in the picture plus much more, a total of 133 pages is included in this file.  It's exactly what 2nd grade teachers need to keep track of their own teaching, planning, and keeping track of what student's master. 

Kids love the incentive of earning "animals for their zoo" along the way!
