I can’t wait until to happy hour…
I hope I can learn something easy to
do with my students…
Well, let’s write this class down and
leave… In 5,4,3,2,1
I hope this is not a sales pitch!
I either need to eat or I just ate
much!
5 REASONS WHY YOU NEED THIS
TRAINING!
5. It’s games and ideas you can prepare and use as soon
as school starts.
4. I am pretty sure that your school district did not pass
out individual budgets for this conference, so you
need some free ideas!
3. Children need to know how to relate math to the real
world.
2. An engaging class as not always QUIET!
1. IT’ S FRRREEEEEEE IDEAS!
CLASSROOM GAMES AND CENTER
ACTIVITIES
My classroom centers are set up around my
guided math time. We change center topics
weekly.
 Mondays & Fridays are whole class activities,
while the others days are used for partner/group
activities.
 Train your class from the 1st day of school about
center and games rules. Make sure that you
model/encourage appropriate behavior
throughout the year.
 This activities are high-interest activities that
build computational and problem solving
abilities.

INTERNET ACTIVITIES AND IDEAS
 Use concerts and record sale information for
place value.
 Use websites such as teacher created, education
center, and etc… to print whole lessons for the
sample pages of books you want to purchase.
 When teaching money use www.usmint.gov for
ideas (since they do make the money).
 Print online zoo or amusement park maps from
measurement.
 Use height information for amusement parks for
measurement conversions.
PLAYING CARD CENTERS
 My addiction to playing cards…
 Card games should be taught during the first
weeks of school.
Why?
How long?
 There is a card game that you can relate to every
math TEK.
Operation: Spoons
Fifty
Odd/Even Number Speed
Math Slap
MAKE YOUR OWN GAME BOARDS
 Game Boards are good for math vocabulary
study
 Using the many workbooks that you may have in
your classroom
 Have students to make their own questions up
using the objective for the day/week
 Use for partner or small group review of weak
objectives.
 All you need is a game board, a die, and a colored counter or
paper clip!
It’s Play Time!
