One of the last things I did with my kids before we officially began our summer break was review money. This was my son's first exposure, so I taught him each of the coins and their denomination, and began to teach him how to add coins (using some of the books in this post and play money). For my daughter, this meant putting her knowledge of money values to work. To help her practice finding the total, and work through real life examples, I Keep Reading...

Number Sentence Roll and Write: Multiplication and Division

Seriously, there's just something about rolling the giant foam dice that my kids love! Today I'm sharing a similar activity for multiplication and division!

This year, I plan to have a ladybug themed week, read more great books, and do lots of fun ladybug math! One book that is always a favorite is The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle. This can Keep Reading...

So last week I created an "addition and subtraction equation search" to help her review and practice addition and subtraction with one and two digit numbers. This is great for kids in Keep Reading...

Earth Day Color a Fraction Pack! {FREE}
Did you know that Earth Day is coming up on April 22? I'm usually pretty oblivious to things like this, and then come up with holiday-themed ideas too late (yeah, that fantastic post on learning math with Peeps...missed it.

These activities build on one another, offering a variety of options to Keep Reading...
