Common Core: Making "Number Sense" Applicious Math Activities...with a Giveaway!

Hi Friends...I have finished up my Applicious Math Activities Common Core unit based on number sense.  This 33 page mini unit is full of math activities that build number sense and can be used in math centers/tubs. These activities are hands-on and minds-on. They promote a high level of understanding and building numbers. All activities meet Common Core Math Standards. Several games can be played several different ways. Learning and fun all in one! Take a look below for a preview of what this unit contains.

If you like what you see, leave a comment below and I will give away THREE of these units to you my friends. Have a great weekend and I will be talking to you all tomorrow! Who will the lucky winners be? We shall see!

Last night I put together a game for students to practice identifying/recognizing symmetry.  Common Core does not have a standard for symmetry however, if your kiddos take the MAP test, they must know what symmetry is. Below is a preview of the game:

and of course, as I was falling asleep last night I thought of a tree map to go with this game! Students can use the same cards used for the game to sort on the tree map. Just another extension of the game!

CLick here to go to my store and grab a game.

Soooo, click on the tree map below and grab a copy of the tree map to sort the pictures from the above game. I also added the letters of the alphabet - students can sort all letters or just their name...or certain words like spring, summer, weather, insects...the list goes on and on!

Click HERE to get a copy of the tree map activities below. 

I am going to have kiddos sort the letters using the sorting mat tree map above. They will also draw the line of symmetry on each letter. When they are finished they can complete the data sheet {the tree map above this}. Grab a copy of the tree map symmetrical sorting activity to use in your class-just leave me a little comment of ya would! I love reading them :-)  

Yep-I have to do it! I will give away 3 of the symmetrical games from my store.  Hmmmm...who will the winners be????

Common Core addition sort

Here is an activity for students to identify and sort number sentences. I am going to have students use a white board and pen to draw a picture to solve whether the number sentences are equal or not equal. This activity covers the Common Core math standard 1.OA.7: Work with addition and subtraction sentences. We are beginning with addition. Grab a copy below!
