Okay, so I've been complaining about double digit subtraction since we've been back from winter break. It's really making me nuts.
We've been playing Around the World to practice basic math facts, but I feel so bad for those little darlings that can't seem to leave their seats. Even when I flip up the 0 + 4 = flashcard and give their opponent a raised eyebrow and the "look". Even when I asked my "super subtractor" to take one for the team. What?! It was actually her idea. She's sensitive to others' feelings.
So we're going to start
Pig Math on Monday. If you need extra math practice in your class, head on over to
Lory's blog or
TPT store. She has FABULOUS math resources!
I'm planning on starting with addition/subtraction facts to 12 and rewarding with an ice cream sundae party when we finish. I figured it will be a good way for us to end the quarter.
This is my latest Vistaprint creation:

So, if someone doesn't like sprinkles, can they just skip the 11s??
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I'll turn this idea into homemade pizza and DS will get to make it.
