Who's on Third?

Average Rating5.00
(based on 6 reviews)

I'm a 3rd grade teacher at a small school in North Carolina and 2015-2016 will be my 7th year in the classroom. I have also taught kinders, 4th, and student taught in 1st grade. I strive to make my classroom as hands-on and "minds-on" as possible through project-based learning, manipulatives, centers, and so create resources to help me achieve that goal. My personal favorite subject to teach is math!

Math Dice Games

A collection of 15 different math dice games - for most of the games, all you need to supply are the dice! Packet includes directions for all 15 games and game boards if needed. Game directions are 2 to a page to be copied and laminated for student use. Math topics include addition, subtraction, multiplication, place value, money, less than/greater than, probability, strategy and decision making. Perfect for math centers, fast finishers, or reinforcement activities - all of these games are ones that my students play in my math class. They are easy to explain and learn and almost all have variations that can make them easier or harder depending on the needs of your students. Games use standard D6 dice but most can be modified to use D8, D10 (a popular type of dice with my students) or any other type of dice. Games are suitable for a wide range of ages - I have listed 1st-4th grades but will work for any age depending on needs.

Multiplication BUMP Game for up to 12x12

(0)
Students love to play BUMP to practice multiplication facts! This set of games includes boards for the 2s table through the 12s and two copies are included for each times table, one for 10-sided dice and one for 12-sided dice. D10 and D12 dice are easy to find on Amazon or at a board game store and are much better for students to practice their facts with - standard 6-sided dice just aren't enough. I created these boards for my students and they begged to play with the 12-sided dice just for the challenge. The game comes with 2 boards for each table except for the 11s and 12s, which only work with D12 dice. Game instructions are included as well and everything is in full color and prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper. I recommend using card stock and laminating board for durability and reuse. This is a standard game in my 3rd grade classroom that I bring out anytime we need some practice with multiplication facts!

Rainbow Multiplication Facts

Need an a simple and effective way for students to learn their multiplication facts AND for you to assess them that ISN'T stressful? Rainbow Multiplication Facts is like having flashcards on a ring - each times table is assigned a color (either colored by students, printed in color, or on colored card stock) and students learn one table at a time. You decide when they can study and when you quiz them - which takes about 30 seconds per student, per table. As students demonstrate mastery with one, they get the next color until they have mastered them all. My students had a lot of fun with them, competed with themselves to see how fast they could learn their facts, and I was able to accurately assess and keep track of who was learning them. Students can work at their own pace or under whatever guidelines you set - the program is very flexible to use in any classroom.
