Power Packs: Developing Number Sense in Grades 2/3

Power Packs: Developing Number Sense in Grades 2/3

We’re now ready to launch our Power Pack: Building Number Sense in Grades 2-3. Like our K-1 Pack, it comes filled with fun games that reinforce what students are learning in the classroom..



These Power Packs can be used during your Family Math Night event, as take-home math packs in the classroom, and as classroom math centers.

And here’s another interesting way to use them. I was chatting with a principal at one of my recent Family Math Night events where we were using the games. She loved the Packs so much that she is planning on giving them to her teachers to share during parent conferences. That way, if a child needs to practice a specific skill, the teacher can guide the parent to the appropriate game in the pack and send it home so parent and child can practice together. I thought the idea was brilliant so I’m sharing it with you.

Rubber Stampin’ Math Part 2

Rubber Stampin’ Math Part 2

Last time in Part 1 of Rubber Stampin’ Math we talked about dusting off those rubber stamps and using them to create expressions, equations, and arrays.  In Part 2, I’m going to share how I used them in second and third grade to introduce multiplication and how that translated to algebraic functions in fourth and fifth grade. Part 2:  Multiplication and Functions For these next activities, the type of rubber stamps students use is very important.  So let’s start with…

Rubber Stampin’ Math – Part 1

Rubber Stampin’ Math – Part 1

I know it’s not quite spring yet but I’m a little anxious for it to start.  It seems like it’s been a long winter.  So, to encourage spring to get a move-on, I did a little spring cleaning.  And that’s when I re-discovered my drawer full of rubber stamps and colorful stamp pads. These stamps and stamp pads were a staple in my third, fourth, and fifth grade classroom.  And when I ran centers in K-2, I used them there,…
