St. Patricks Day Doubles Addition
I think I’ve spoken before about loving all the tools kids get these days for math, and doubles is definitely a favorite of mine. There’s really no trick about it, it’s just memorization. But it can really go far. If you can do doubles, you can easily figure out one up or one down. If…
Read MoreSt. Patricks Day SuDoKu
In my younger (kid-free) days I was a big SuDoKu fan. I actually had a job where we would take a break every day and race to complete SuDoKu. I never won (although I’m not that bad, they were just super quick). I really enjoy the way SuDoKu cradles the creative mind. I used to…
Read MoreShamrock STOMP – Number Sense, Addition, and Multiplication
I love a math activity that I can do with all the boys at the same time. But they’re all on completely different levels, so it doesn’t really happen often. Shamrock STOMP however is great math fact practice and they all get to work on their own level! Don’t miss the rest of the…
Read MoreSt Patricks Day First Grade No Prep Math
I LOVE St. Patricks Day. And totally for superficial reasons. Mostly because my maiden name is Erin Grady (descendents of O’Grady) and I feel a tie to Ireland. I’m not totally on board with the meaning of the holiday, but on a very superficial level, I love it. So we spend out time wearing green,…
Read MoreShamrock Make 10
Day 3 of my St Patricks Math series! I’m actually enjoying these math activities for a change!! I’ll admit, preparing fun and engaging math activities is more difficult than worksheets and straight up math. But I promise, it is totally worth it!! I’m constantly hearing “but when will I use this?” and “why is this…
Read MoreLucky Charms Graphing
We love cereal but I try to limit overly sugary cereal – so when as excuse comes up to buy something fun like Lucky Charms, we jump at it. And what is more fun that some early morning graphing? One math activity all my boys have loved, starting from a very young age, is graphing….
Read MoreShamrock Number Bonds
The irony of my next sentence should not be missed – my kids hate worksheets. Anything on paper really. (The irony being that I make printable on paper!!). So I’ve decided to put a LOT more effort into making learning paperless – or as paperless as possible. So I’m going to do 17 days of…
Read MoreValentines Day No Prep First Grade Math Pack
I love no prep packs because they are just so convenient. Sometimes I have plenty of planning times, other days I need something in about 3 minutes. That’s what no prep packs are for. No planning. No cutting. No sorting. Just print and go. I really enjoyed making this pack…because it’s pink. Living in a…
Read MoreXx is for Xylephone Cursive Set
I love the letter W and it’s purely for hilarious reasons, I swear. When you say “w” in English it’s double-u. But our double-u is more like a double-v. In French however, double-u is pronounced double-v (oublez-vey)…but they write they w like a double-u. For some reason I find that hilarious. Anyway, enough with the…
