We’re GIVING AWAY a Nifty Numbers kit. Yup. A freebie. There are two ways to enter the raffle. One is to simply ‘like’ our Family Math Night facebook PAGE. Easy peasy. The ‘like’ button is at the top. Just make sure you leave a comment that you want to be entered into the raffle. That way, we can fill out your ticket and drop it in the jar. The second way to enter is to attend the PTO Expo in Pleasanton, CA…
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
