It's been WAY too long.

I am not sure how it is possible to be a teacher, wife, mom, friend AND active blogger!! I am not sure how everyone else can balance it all!!! :) I so need/want to do a REAL blog post soon. Been way too long!

In the meantime, I've got a fresh product to share with you! I whipped up some math stations for my class last night/this morning to use in math stations next week:

These are just a few of the 77 pages in this pack--head to my store to check out the rest!

Spooky Shape Spin

I am still not back, but am alive and working!!!

Enjoy this lil' shape freebie I just made--I combined graphing, comparing numbers, and shape recognition into one Halloween-themed activity! This will be one activity we will do during our daily math skill practice time. :)

Trick or Treat Math Bulletin Board

I am alllll about the interactive bulletin boards this year! My student teacher and I came up with this one. We have done a few "how many ways can you make this number" activities so far this year. We decided to take the concept and put in on a bulletin board. Each treat bag on the board has a number underneath it. All of the "candy" in one bag shows a number sentence for the corresponding number. The number sentence can be as simple or as complex as the student wishes. For instance, if he/she chose 89, the sentence could be 80 + 9 = 89 OR it could be 100 - 20 + 9 = 89 OR it could be 40 x 2 + 9 = 89. The possibilities are endless!!! I challenge them to come up with a sentence that includes multiple operations  and more than 2 or 3 steps.

Here are two student work samples:

Below you will find the instructions, part of the title (I used bulletin board letters for "Trick or Treat") and the treats I included on my board--feel free to grab the doc! I used real Halloween treat bags from Wal-Mart to hold the "goodies" in.

Halloween Math Pack #1

I'm (slowly) getting to finish some of my latest projects. I was planning on putting an entire Halloween-themed math activity package together, but just don't have time to do it all before Halloween! Instead I will be releasing it in portions. The first part includes Mon$ter Money and Brewin' Up Facts. Click on the picture below to view the product in my store (with more information):
