Better Late than Never is not a motto I live by on a daily basis, especially in the classroom! But, for the 3rd Magical Product Swap, that's exactly what happened. My partner and I decided to blog about our swaps a little late. It worked out the best for both of us.
I was paired up with the lovely and talented Jennifer @ Positively Learning. I picked her unit What's the Number? It was perfect for right now as we are working on place value. Her unit was 47 pages and included:
- Math Mini Posters
- 2 Versions of Math Mats
- Game Cards for 10 - 30 and 10 more for #s 31-99
- Activity Pages
Jennifer suggests using the cards for matching games, flashcards, comparing numbers, and for sequencing numbers.
Here is how I used them in my classroom.
1. In a workstation center using a pocket chart.
Pairs of students find the four cards which match. Categories are Standard Form, Word Form, Picture Form, and Expanded Form.

2. Final Four
I distributed cards around the classroom. Students had to walk around the room and find their partners.

These 2 found a partner. Now they have to find the word form and the picture form. |
They did it!

3. WAR
I divided cards up among pairs of students. Each would turn over a card and decide who had the greatest number. They really liked this game!!

Thanks Tamera! I love the idea of finding partners - I'm definitely going to try that!
