In the afternoon we will usually do a mini-lesson together and then practice skills at stations around the room. This gives me an opportunity to practice our new skill from the mini lesson in a small group while the rest of the class works on stations. Here are some of our recent stations:
Hot Dots are a fun tool to practice a variety of skills, there is a question in the middle and then the student picks the answer from the choices by touching it with a special pen. The pen will light up green and make a noise if it's correct and turn red if it's incorrect. These are math Hot Dots that practice addition, we use our bead counter manipulatives to show the addition problem and check our answer.
Addition city building is when a student gets two different colored dice and colored blocks that match the color of the dice. They roll the two dice and make a "skyscraper" that matches the dice color and numbers. When their "skyscraper" is built, whatever total number it added to it's "plot" which is its spot on a number line.
My inspiration picture from Pinterest is on the left and our class in action is on the right.
Ladybug addition is when you spin a spinner and put the matching number of ladybugs on the leaf. Then you spin the next spinner and do the same. At the end you add up both ladybugs to get the total.
