I used a bunch of left-over stickers I had to make the cards. The first time I played it w/ them, I had only 4 rows and 6 columns. They need to say the letter first followed by the number (getting ready to read the X axis and the Y axis). If students win a pair, they hold on to it and we move on to the next student. Super FUN! .
Here’s a fun, super easy way to get students to find the factors of a given number. All you need is inch graph paper and stickers. If you like, you can have students create all the rectangular arrays for a given number using tiles then transfer the arrays onto the graph paper using the stickers. CCSS: 4.OA.4
Here’s a super fun, super easy way to address one of the Grade 2 content standards: Work with equal groups to understand multiplication. This can also be done with stickers! CCSS: 2.OA.4 (although not done using rectangular arrays)
This is a super easy, super fun activity to tie art in with bilateral (mirror) symmetry. These are some samples of third and fourth grade work. CCSS: 4.G.3
Watchthe video below to see how simple objects like tiles, stickers, rubber stamps, dice, and graph paper help teach students important concepts in number theory: factors, primes, composites, and square numbers…not to mention the great reinforcement of multiplication facts. Grades 2 – 5 CCSS: 2.OA.4; 2.NBT.2; 3.OA.1; 3.OA.3; 3.OA.5; 3.OA.7; 4.OA.1; 4.OA.4
