Just Buggy About Place Value Race Game!

I'm just published about one of my favorite Place Value Race Games...this one has a bug theme and is just terrific to add a little Spring color to your math center! 
This game is a great way to differentiate for high, middle and low. It can be played with just the "Tens" version or the "Hundreds" version. Meanwhile, your high group students can be playing the same game, but with the "Thousands" version. It is also an excellent tool to use to teach in your small group and gather data for your RtI documentation. Observe a student and you will know instantly if they can problem solve to created the highest number when given three cards, 3, 6 and 8 for example. If they don't make it into 863, there's a problem!

My friend, Denise, from Sunny Days in Second Grade, took pictures of her children playing the game and sent it to me.

FCAT {Testing} Snack Idea!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Standardize Testing SNACKS

Last year, 3rd grade had four days of FCAT testing. The children received a juice box and a snack bag with a message. They ♥LOVED reading their random messages to each other...that one simple thing that probably took the volunteers a long time to do, made all the difference in the World! When they would read them to each other I would say, "See, all sorts of people know that you are going to do well!" or "Look at all those people rooting for you, you're going to do well again tomorrow!"

Testing starts tomorrow, so I'm not sure we'll have the same thing, but if you are ever asked to do snacks for something, I thought you would like this one simple idea that really only involves time, and very little money!  

Just one Sharpie marker! :)
