J'ai .....Qui a?

 

As we begin to take a closer look at our numbers to 100, I've thought of a few games that will engage the kids and give them lots of practice with these larger numbers. I was introduced to Splat Math so I plan on using that web-based activity this week. I'm going to have a leader pull random numbers out of our 100 chart and have students name them and replace them. I've also found several versions of the "I have....who has?" game on Pinterest and I decided to create my own versions for numbers to 50, to 100 and 50 to 100 for my smartie pants!

Les 70 et les 90

 

70 and 90 posters (only a few numbers as examples)

home practice flash cards

 

Madame Zolondek taught me this trick and it's magical for those few students who just can't seem to get reading the 70 and 90 numerals in French.  Here are some posters to demonstrate the trick for students.

Here are some handy school or home practice card kits.  They are printed on different colours of card stock with suggestions on how to use them in English with the idea that parents will also be understand the task.  They are gathered onto a ring for practice.  The plastic containers are butter boxes from the dollar store.

Use these cards for Word Work to practice reading and writing numeral words.  Making the kits are time consuming so have them returned when students are through with them.  Or, send home the printed sheets and have students make up their own kit.

UN POUR L'ESCARGOT

 

template for student story 'Combien de pieds?'

 

This math infused read-aloud coincides with our science animals unit around the same time of year.  Tubs of small plastic animals make creating our own stories a snap.  Students were encouraged to find many animal combinations of feet.  At your table can you and your partner make 10 feet?  7?  20?  How many different combinations can you find for 4 feet?

LES STRATÉGIES DE LA RÉSOLUTION DES PROBLÈMES

Early French Immersion is often about vocabulary, making it visible and accessible.

They're just visuals but when used and taught like anchor charts they become valuable tools.

YAHTZEE EN FRANÇAIS

 

Yahtzee en français.pdf 

 

My sons in grades 2 and 3 enjoy this game, perhaps it can be used

in grade 1 as well.  Lots of good addition practice and at the end of the 

game an adding 2 digit and 3 digit numbers task.

I made a french scorecard, I think I've got it right after much googling.

It's laminated and reusable.  French on one side, english on the other.

This could also be sent home with students for practice over a holiday break.

 

Student roll the dice into the container to avoid dice all over the floor!

The game is available as an iPad app but the app does all of the addition work for you.

Apple graph.pdf

kindergarten generic graph.pdf

 

 

When I taught kindergarten we made a graph every month.  This task involved sorting and counting.  We used a generic

graph so that is was the same very time but graphed fun stuff like seasonal halloween confetti bits in October

and Lucky charms cereal in March.  This is the genric graph I use.  The full size one was for kindergarten,

in grade one I use half a legal sized sheet so that it can be glued into their math journal.

 

 

 

 

Once finished we asked each other questions like, what do you have the most of, the least?  Do you have more than the same as or less 

____________ than your neighbour?  Who has the most ______________?  

How many items did you tally in all (grade 1)?

 

 

 

We did gummy bear graphing during the K bear unit, yum!

Hundred Chart.pdf

This file is about 15 pages long because of course, you just have to have lots of colours to choose from. My deal with colour choice (as an artsy lady I guess that's why I bother) for students is, I will pass materials out, if you can make a deal or trade with someons (find a win-win), go nuts.  There is always some frantic deal making, I often set a quick time limit.  This takes the hassle out of my hands and injects a some problem solving and haggling skills into grade one (ha!). 

 

 

  

 

I print a class set on card stock and laminate them.  Each student has a chart and a flat glass bead.

As we count during calendar time students slide their glass bead along.

Use later for skip counting and counting on.  The back can be used as a response board with a

dry erase marker or whole group problem solving during calendar time.

Representing Numbers 11-20 Grade 1.pdf

 

This is one of those cases where I insist that the stamping or sticker representation be orderly,

subitizeable if that's a word.  Notice that her stars are in 2 groups of 5 with a single on it's own.  

Her 12 is 2 groups of 6, sorta, kinda, almost.

 

One of our big questions every time is, why is there no ladybug on the 11 page?

Is 11 a double?  Why  not?  Can we share it equally?  Let's try.

NOTE:  I think there are some corrections to make on some of them (le français) I will be sure to make those changes!

 

Most of these games are taken from our provincial math recource, Chenalière, Box Cars and One Eyed Jacks, and NCTM'S Teaching Children Mathematics.  Although most student's can't read the card of instructions I put my little bags together this way to make it easier for me to remember what we did from year to year, to make them easy to share, and to make them easy to use at a moments notice (parent volunteer, resource assistant, substitute).  The games are small, simple, fun.

 

I am working on Unit 3 with my students right now, our focus is addition and subtraction to 12.  As we progress I will add more math games.

 

                

 

 

     

      

 

To avoid photocopying I use blank, stapled booklets or white boards for math games.  We use our notebooks for problem solving.

Our math journals are shown below.  I have a lot of difficulty organising and keeping track of student work.  I'm

terrified to send things home because I often make notes right on a student's sheet or gameboard like;

completed with support, uses mental math, needs specific strategy for counting a set.  I also like

to be able to refer to their work at report card time and during student-led conferences.  Teaching grade 1s to put a sheet

into a duotang is almost more than I can bear . . . 

We glue stuff into our journals!
