Math Game Monday - It's Paddocks Time!

We have been home this weekend for the first weekend in a long time - knowing that I was going to have a busy Sunday with schoolwork and visitors, I actually scheduled this post on Saturday - I am feeling very organised!

This week's game is one of my favourites that I always forget about! Paddocks? Do you know it? All you need is dot paper and a marker, it is a game of strategy...

The Best Story - Fantastic Book

Have you seen this book before? The Best Story by Eileen Spinelli really is the best story! Our librarian gave it to us to read with the children and immediately I loved it!

We have been working on our unit on Narrative Writing so it was perfect! It follows the story of a girl who wants to write the best story she can so she can meet her favourite author. She asks her family members what makes the best story, but in the end, the way she writes the best story is to write from the heart!

Adorable, I strongly recommend you order a copy today!

Fact Family Bundle!

I have been working on this for what seems like forever! First there was family to visit, birthdays to be had and help required, then reports to be written and job application and interview (I have my job for another 6 months, yay) to be done.

After all of this, here is my Multiplication and Division Fact Family cards! I have made triangles for times tables from 2 through to 12, then put on another tricky fact family card – a total of 12 cards for each (total of 132 cards).

You can download it here!

I have also bundled this pack with my Addition and Subtraction pack – you can download it here!

You can download it here!

Here is a quick giveaway though – enter below using the rafflecopter and I will choose TWO winners by the end of the weekend!

Shapey Artwork

I feel out of whack at the moment – lots to do, never enough time, sometimes this seems to be the story of my life! Although we have been doing plenty during classtime, I often forget to take pictures and to take the time to reflect on what we have done! But here is something from this week.

We have been visiting, and being visited by the Specialist School for one session each week during the last 3 weeks. It has been a wonderful experience so far for our children. We have an autistic girl in our class who goes to the Specialist School 3 days a week so they loved going to visit and seeing her other school. Our class has shown so much compassion towards the children – melts your heart!

Here is the activity we did we them this week – it was tricky to do the cutting and folding, but we got there!

First we watched the video from simplekidscrafts.com ...

Then we had a play.

Some got creative....

One boy used the clock to draw a dodecagon – very clever!

I love being creative and the kids love it! Another success story from room 3/4D!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Math Game Monday - Queen's Birthday Holiday

I feel like I am really slack with my blog posts at the moment. It is report writing time, end of term time and there seems to be plenty going on at the moment! AND this is the third time I have tried to post this post - between the internet going in and out, being without internet and the internet at work blocking me out, it has been long process! Anyway, at least I am on here once a week to post a great game for you!

Today is it Queen's Birthday Holiday in Australia and it was lovely to have a three day weekend!

This week's game is more like an activity. It is perfect for children who are just starting to learn their times tables, or one who needs some extra reinforcement.

Math Game Monday - Simple and Fun!

I am now up to the 11th week of my weekly series "Math Game Monday". Each week I upload this resource into cyber world, watch how many people visit my page, get a couple of comments, but really have no idea how many people download and appreciate my games! This week I have received some lovely comments and emails telling me how much people love, appreciate and enjoy these games. It has been so lovely to hear! You know who you all are, so thank you very much! I would love to hear from you if you are a regular downloader!

I also listed the first 10 games on Teachers Pay Teachers as a pack to download. I considered maybe this a freebie, but then decided that 10 hours of work probably shouldn't be free (and I like giving the freebie part of it away to my blog followers). Needless to say - it isn't expensive, so if you are new to Math Game Monday and don't have the time to click through all the previous posts and download the pdf's, you could head over to TpT and download it here.

Today's game is Hundreds Chart. You will need a deck of cards for each child, a hundreds chart each and coloured markers. Very simple, but great practise of using numbers. When I was typing it up, I actually decided I liked the variation better than the game itself - see what you think!

 All instructions are included in the download, including a hundreds chart (just add markers and cards!). Simply click on the image below!
