Materials:
2" x 18" strip of white paper
for each student
a ruler
markers or crayons
Preparation:
Students divide their paper
into 9 two inch sections and then color and label the sections as the place
values are correct. Give each student a sheet with equal size squares
labeled 1 through 9 with two 0s and a wildcard.
Build A Number (Closest to 50,000 WINS!!)
I shuffle the 12 cards and
stack them facedown then I take five cards off the top of the stack and
turn them faceup. I place them so that all the students can see the
cards. Their task is to arrange the numbers on their strip to create
the closest possible number to 50,000.
Variations: Have each student pick their
own top 5 cards from their stack and build a number
closest to 50,000.
Try to build the largest number possible.
Snatch It(This
is similar to spoons!)
Objective: Students will be able to mentally
solve problems and see the value of mental math for everyday activities.
Preparation: Divide students into pairs and give each couple a small object such as a plastic cup. The students in each twosome need to sit facing each other with their object midway between them.
Procedure; Call out a math problem. When ever you call out an incorrect problem, the first person in each group to grab the object is the winner. Call on volunteers to correct incorrect problems.
Multi-Bingo
Objective: Students will be able to practice
multiplication facts.
Preparation: Fill a box with paper counters numbered 1 through 81. Each child will divide a piece of paper into 16 squares and then write numbers between 1 and 9 in each squares. Some numbers will be used more than once.
Procedure: Draw a nmuber from the box. Keep track of what numbers have been drawn. Students are to cross out 2 numbers next to each other, vertically or horizontally whose product is the same as the number called. For example. If I called 24, and Sally had 6 and 4 next to each other, she would cross them off. First child with a whole row crossed out in some direction wins. Check the card first!!!
Purpose: To review division facts and properties.
Preparation: Using crayon, each child writes (as large as possible) on a piece of paper the product of any two-digit numbers.
Procedure: Students start in a circle holding
their own papers. A number is written on the chalkboard. Anyone
holding a number that can be divided by the chalkboard number without a
remainder are to hold it up. Points are awarded to those who are
correct. All numbers are moved to the right. A new number is
written on the chalkboard. The game continues until a student has
five points.
