Holiday Themed Place Value Math Game Bundle and a GIVEAWAY

I finally finished my holiday math games! I love the holiday season; turkeys, elves, and snowmen, yay! I know my students do to so I wanted to put together some themed games to help them practice the math skills we've been working on. There are games for addition and subtraction up to 200, comparing numbers, expanded form, and composing numbers using hundreds, tens, and ones. The games are all common core aligned too in case you need that :)




You can find them in my TPT Store Mrs. Grisham's Little Lighthouse Learners. To spread the word about this new product I'm hosting a giveaway! It ends on the 22nd. Enter below

I make several copies of each game and put them in sheet protectors. Then students play these games during math rotation with a partner using whiteboard markers. This allows me to quickly check student work and provide activities without wasting a ton of paper.

Common Core Math Games plus a GIVEAWAY!

One of my absolute favorite ways of increasing learning in my classroom is with math games. They are fun and engaging! They are a Quick, Easy, Effective Instructional Strategy. They also can be super cute. They should be easy to use and good games are typically able to be played again and again. 

I wanted to make some colorful, fall and winter themed math games for my 2nd grade class this year. We will be focusing on addition, subtraction, and place value the first few months of school so I made games that aligned with these standards and had adorable, seasonal things like pumpkins, turkeys, gingerbread men, and penguins. The results is my Common Core Math Game Bundle. I'm excited to get to school to print and laminate :)

I'd love to do a GIVEAWAY of these game to hopefully add some fun to other classrooms and to make your job of teaching math a bit easier. Enter below!

2nd Grade Math Games and a GIVEAWAY!!

As soon as I heard I was teaching 2nd grade again, I got to work making one of my favorite things to do in my classroom, play math games!! I love when my students say, "I love math!!" and I know the way to hook them is with bright, colorful, and engaging games. 

There are lots of math games out on the market. I have a few from a big curriculum company, but a lot of the time those are a bit complicated and take more teacher instruction than I would like. I want to be able to print off a game, explain the directions once, and then have students play the game independently while I pull small groups. 

I'll be focusing on addition, subtraction, and place value in the first few months of school so I made a Math Game Bundle with fun fall and winter themes; pumpkins, turkeys, penguins, and candy canes!! Oh, and did I mention, it's aligned to common core and has a handy sheet explaining what standards each game meets :)

Here is the link to the product, I hope you find it easy to implement and useful for your upcoming year! It has 12 math games, all linked to common core, all bright and fun. Enjoy!
