I created this partner game to give my students practice estimating sums and differences.  This game supports sol 3.3a, estimate and determine the sum or difference of two whole numbers.  Before playing the game, students should have already studied rounding.    In this game, students take turns flipping over four cards and rounding the number.  Then, they add the rounded numbers to find the sum or subtract the rounded numbers to find the difference.

 I created this game to give my students hands on practice with counting money.  Counting money is a skill that is used daily in real life, so it is necessary that all students master the skill.  This activity supports sol 3.6a, determine the value of a collection of bills and coins whose total value is $5.00 or less.  Before playing this game, students should be able to recognize coins and know the values of each.  This game has four recording sheets so you can differentiate instruction based on the needs of your students.  Students play with a partner to flip cards, write the number under each column, and put dollars/coins on the work mat to count.  While students play the game, I walk around to help students as needed.  By doing this, I can assess and remediate with those students who need extra help.

This 4 pack of Tic-Tac-Toe Graphing Games is great for a math station or small group activity. The students answer tic-tac-toe questions by analyzing the given graphs. If they get the question correct, they place their marker on the board . If they answer incorrectly, it moves on to their partners turn. The first person to 3 in a row wins. If no one gets 3 in a row, they play again.

The questions are very basic for beginning data analysis. The teacher can make a copy of the google doc and change the questions based on the classroom needs.
