Place Value Mystery Cards

This activity is from the blog First Grade Parade.. Students have to figure out how many tens and ones are on each card. They then color the number on a hundreds chart to revel the mystery picture. What child can resist a mystery picture?!

10-oh Song

A few months back I blogged about my students using the song Dynamite to practice the compliments of 10. We actually made a little music video. We will definately not be winning a Grammy, but anything that gets them learning different ways to make 10 is worth a shot!

Addition to 15

Addition to 15 is a great game with simple directions that helps children practice adding. It comes from Mrs. Young's website. She is a math coach in New York.

Subitizing Website

This website has a lot of resources for subitizing.

Combinations of 10

Mrs. T's First Grade Class has a great way for children to show what they know about combinations to 10. This would be a great activity to do after your children have had a lot of experiences using manipulatives to make the combinations to 10.

10 More, 10 Less

Here is a fun game from the blog Oh My Classity Class. It helps children practice 10 more, 10 less, 1 more, 1 less. You could send it home with a hundreds chart for a homework assignment.

Geometry

Here is a free resource from Math Learning Center you might want to check out. It is a free resource guide for using geometric blocks. My friend Kim also came up with the idea of going on a shape scavenger hunt with the iPod Touches. The children will go around school and take pictures of certain shapes. I will post more about this once we have figured out all the details.
