Buddy Game: Dinosaur Place Value Match
Our Buddy Game this week was Dinosaur Place Value Match from Fun 2B in First's TPT Store. I can't believe this great product was free! The biggest problem were that there were so many cards to match that many of the kiddos improvised. They would turn the cards over and find matches with them facing up.
Using Manipulatives/Technology
The students did a Roll/Build/Draw/Write activity this week. Unfortunately the video/pics I took of them (which were adorable!) got corrupted on the nearly antique camera I had on hand. Seriously... it has only 4 megapixels. Crazy, right?
To sum it up, I gave them a place value mat, some base-ten blocks, a tens dice and a ones dice.

Independent Work
This week independent work was all about the tech. We used a Motion Math app called Zoom. Great for place value! Watch the video for more info on how it works:
Learning About Numbers
This week we used my favourite Mystery Pictures from Cara Carroll. The children like them, I love them, and it familiarizes them with different number forms and the hundreds chart.
Doing Math
The point of Doing Math is to bring the real world into the classroom. Sometimes it is tough to find an investigation that is within the students capabilities, but still challenging! This time I went with how many ways can one make $100? The students had to make at least 11 using the bills provided, and then write them down.
