Math Monday--Easter Math!

 It's almost here! It's getting so close I can taste it!

 

SPRING BREAK!!!

 

 Just 4 more days...

 

To celebrate spring and the upcoming break and Easter and the end of our addition and subtraction unit (we really believe in celebrating!), we are doing some EGG-cellent math this week!

 

Sorry for the pun. I know it was terrible. I blame it on needing spring break! 

 

SO! Back to this week. For my first activity, I have a basket filled with these little guys...some addition and some subtraction.

 

The kids pull out an egg and record their problem and answer on this recording sheet... 

 

...that I found in this super awesome freebie!

The kids loved it!!

 

 

My second activity is the Great Egg Race partner game!

 

One partner rolls 2 dice, adds the numbers, and colors that number on their egg. The other partner repeats. The first player to color all of their numbers wins!

 

I found this activity (and a lot of other great ones) from this freebie!

In less egg-y activities, other students race the clock to sort addition facts...

 

...and subtraction facts.

 

The last group works on the computer.
If you need any great computer games, try Sheppard Software. The games are SO much fun and great for lots of levels of learners. My personal faves are

Fruit Splat
Math Man
and
Monkey Drive
These are also great if you have an interactive board.

 

That's All Folks! Have a HOPPY Easter!

 

I know. That was another terrible pun. I REALLY need spring break!

Noooo! Spring Break...come back!

ZZZZZZZZ! That's what I wanted to do all day today! It was SO tough getting up this morning after a week of spring break! My alarm literally went off 3 times before I comprehended what it was or what I was supposed to do (I'm thankful my hubby didn't push me out of the bed!). Regardless, I think this break will give me the stamina I need to make it the next six weeks of school. Six weeks...that's it! WOW this year has flown by!

In celebration of spring and Easter, here's a free product that I hope makes your Monday a little brighter  =)  It includes a spring write the room, a spring writing template, an Easter egg CVC word and picture match, and a Easter egg short vowel sort.
