Hi Manoj, I realize Thanksgiving is coming up quick, but I still wanted to share some fun Thanksgiving-themed ideas & freebies with you. I know those last few days before break can be challenging, so hopefully the games, activities and challenges below will give you a break from the normal routine, but still keep kids' brains learning and reviewing those math skills. Enjoy these & have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving Math Activities: Find a variety of engaging tasks and games at the links below! First, this open-ended math challenge is prefect because kids of all ages can use it in different ways! To begin, give kids a number for their turkey. (This can be a small whole number, a large number, a fraction, decimal, etc.) They then "Build a Turkey" by adding feathers with different representations of that number . The possibilities are endless! >> Grab the FREE Build a Turkey Challenge HERE This lo...

Hi Manoj, Happy Friday! To wrap up my Math Geek VIP Days , I've got a FREE product to give to you ($5 value) PLUS a TPT gift card to giveaway to one lucky reader! With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I wanted to take a moment to say, "Thanks." Thank you for following along, reading & sharing my ideas, purchasing my products and being quick to share words of encouragement. I am so grateful for you! To continue the theme of gratitude, I am partnering with 15 other teachers for a fun "Sharing Our Blessings" blog hop . During this event ( which runs through Monday, November 20 ), you can get a FREE product from every single teacher . AND--you can enter to win a $25 TPT gift card on every single site! That's $400 worth of gift cards up for grabs! I've included all the details in a blog post below, where I share a few things I am thankful for this year. I hope you will join in and share so...

Hi Manoj, Welcome back to Math Geek VIP Days ! This week I am hosting a series of "flash deals" so you can save money on resources your students will love. Today's deal? >> Get a 3-Year Membership to Digital Math Games for just $79 (with no recurring fees!) ! What is Digital Math Games? Way too often, my experience with "technology in the classroom" has consisted of kids answering multiple choice or flash card type problems on a computer or simply the using the math textbook in an online format. Or on the other end of the spectrum, kids playing math games that are really just games that happen to weave in some low-level computation practice . This may technically be using technology, but does it actually enhance learning and deepen mathematical understanding ? In an effort to create a better option for using technology in elementary school, I built a new ad-free website which hosts more t...

Hi Manoj, Welcome back to Math Geek VIP Days ! This week I am hosting a series of "flash deals" so you can save money on resources your students will love. Today's deal? >> Grab a bundle of 20 Hands-On Math resources for just $24 ! Making Math Hands-On & Visual: If you have followed for awhile, you know I am a huge proponent of making math visual . This can mean lots of different things, but the idea is that by starting with a concrete representation ( whether a hands on manipulative, a picture or a number line ), kids can see the math in a way that makes sense to them and then build on that solid foundation . When we work through a math problem, 5 different processors are used in our brain. 2 of those are visual processors , meaning we are using and relying on the visual processing part of our brain , whether we use a visual representation to solve it or not . So if you see students drawing a p...

Hi Manoj, Welcome back to Math Geek VIP Days ! This week I am hosting a series of "flash deals" so you can save money on resources your students will love. Today's deal? >> Grab my Graphing Calculator Activities Bundle for just $5 ! Incorporate Technology in a Meaningful Way: According to the National Council of Teacher's of Mathematics' Principles and Standards , "Technology is essential to the teaching and learning of mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students' learning." Although I knew this to be true, and desired to find meaningful ways to incorporate technology into my own math classroom, I struggled to make it a reality . I had no idea where to start, and truthfully, I didn't really want to. I'm a paper and pencil kind of girl! But in our increasingly technological world, I have to agree: technology is essential. But I also be...

Hi Manoj, Welcome back to Math Geek VIP Days ! This week I am hosting a series of "flash deals" so you can save money on resources your students will love. Today's deal? >> Grab my Picture Book Math Kit for just $19 ! My Favorite Reasons to Teach Math with Picture Books: 1. It's fun & engaging! This may seem obvious, but for those kids who are reluctant when it comes to math (or anxious about it), or even kids who adore math, reading a story together is just plain fun . Especially if you choose great books! This is a wonderful way to ease kids in and spark some interest and conversation before getting into the nitty gritty math topics. 2. It's a low-floor. For those kids who are anxious or struggling, it can be hard to draw them in and get them interested in a new math topic. They often check out before you've even started the lesson! But by incorporating a picture book, every single c...
