Math Worksheets and Lesson Plans - Miscellaneous Activities
Miscellaneous Activities 1. I have a permanent pocket chart hanging in my classroom for our daily graph. We graph something everyday...favorite cafeteria lunch, how we got to school, how many letters are in our names, etc. Sometimes the graph is vertical, sometimes it is horizontal. It just takes 10 minutes (or less) a day, and makes reading graphs easy! 2. I used a very large box (from an easel I bought) and cut off the top and bottom. Then I cut a large square in the front to create a "window". I did a 10 minute paint job and wrote the word "store" on the front. Now the kids use The Store during free time after math assignments are done. They love being the store clerk, and having the others line up to "buy" toys, etc. I have a price list of several toys for 3-7 cents. 3. I created a math "bowling" game for a fun math free time activity. I took 9 plastic cups and put a number on each one. Since I teach first grade, I made cups with numbers 1-9. I also put tiny stickers on each cup for those who need visual reinforcement. Kids line the cups (bottom end on the floor) like in bowling. I tell them to put the big numbers in the back row so that the game is a little more competitive. They then get a turn to "bowl" the cups over using a Nerf ball. They then collect the cups they knocked over and add up those points. The next person gets a turn. Continue to play until all the cups are knocked over.
