Penguin Math Games Capture the Penguins Gameuses the outcome of two-dice toss to form a coordinate pair. Students toss two dice (one regular and one A-F) in this fun game that introduces students to coordinate graphing in the spaces. Students form a coordinate pair based on the dice toss and capture a penguin, if possible. Free the Penguins Game: The penguins are stuck on the ice floes. These games are not only an excellent opportunity to practice basic facts but they allow students to collect data and reflect on the probability inherent in the game.

Number Sense: Rethinking Arithmetic Instruction for Students with Mathematical Disabilities By: Russell Gersten and David J. Chard (2001) Abstract We describe the concept of number sense, an analog as important to mathematics learning as phonemic awareness has been to the reading research field. More than three decades have passed since Kirk and Bateman (1962) proposed that auditory processing was one of the psycholinguistic process deficits underlying specific learning disabilities. We believe that there may be an analog as important to mathematics learning as phonemic awareness has been to the development of reading. Our model is linked to issues generated by the mathematics reform movement, as reflected in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM; 1989) and the reactions to these guidelines (Carnine, 1997; Hofmeister, 1993; Mercer, Jordan, & Millet, 1994; Rivera, 1997). In our approach, we rely on Cobb's (1995) conceptualization of constructivism as a joint approach. In this article, we draw analogies between phonological awareness and number sense.

Tools for the Common Core Standards Phil Daro, Bill McCallum, Jason Zimba A Grecian urn You have just purchased an expensive Grecian urn and asked the dealer to ship it to your house. He picks up a hammer, shatters it into pieces, and explains that he will send one piece a day in an envelope for the next year. You object; he says “don’t worry, I’ll make sure that you get every single piece, and the markings are clear, so you’ll be able to glue them all back together. In the Common Core State Standards, individual statements of what students are expected to understand and be able to do are embedded within domain headings and cluster headings designed to convey the structure of the subject. Standards for a Grecian Urn The pieces are designed to fit together, and the standards document fits them together, presenting a coherent whole where the connections within grades and the flows of ideas across grades are as visible as the story depicted on the urn. Sometimes a remix is as good as or better than the original. Like this:

So, I obliged. I assembled. I flipped. Many thanks are owed to Imagine Our Life for the templates to create the wall map. 1) Print the patterns in mirror image (reverse) on cardstock 2) Using spray adhesive, adhere 2 sheets of craft felt together. 3) Using Spray Adhesive, glue the patterns onto their appropriate color 4) Allow to dry then cut out 5) Using Spray Adhesive, spray the brown continents and apply to the globe We already had tons of Safari Toobs toys on hand. Hard to believe she is not even in Kindergarten yet and is already telling time to the 5 minute increments. “Mommy, why is my birthday taking so long?” “Mommy, how much is a dollar?” For the fun of it, I went ahead and made enough bead bars to create the Square of Pythagoras. For the beads, wire and tools, go to Bolek’s. Learning to tell time with Lego Duplos.
