Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 1 so far )Guess My Number Activity
This is a great routine to put up in your class (scroll down to the middle of the page). You get to review tons of skills. You should laminate this so that students can actually go up and work on the chart. I love the way that it is color coded. Be sure to give all kinds of prompts across the domains:
Examples:
Is your number a 2 digit number?
Is your number greater than 10?
Is your number equivalent to the number of inches in a foot?
Is your number equivalent to the sides of a hexagon?
Is your number less than 100?
You get to review concepts and vocabulary! Wonderful!

Skip Counting by 10’s is a kindergarten activity. In the CCSS Skip counting becomes an official unit of study in 2nd grade. Here are 10 ideas to teach and practice skip counting in different ways.

Example 2 (ladder)
Example 3 (skip counting sticks)
