This week I had 13 of my sweet friends staying at my house for the Teachers Pay Teachers conference, and we had a blast!! Some of my friends went home on Friday morning so the rest of us decided to hit the Dollar Tree to see what we could find!! We decided to do our very first Facebook live video and share what we found. Many of you asked us to do a follow-up blog post so you could grab the pictures of our ideas, so we decided to do a blog hop. Be sure and visit all five blogs to see all 15 of the ideas!
Here are the ideas that I shared during the video:
Hungry Shark Missing Addends Game
-
The students will play the game with a partner.
-
Determine what number your group of students will be working with and have them count out that many goldfish and say the number. “SIX”
-
Player one will hide his or her eyes while player two has the shark “eat” some of the fish.
-
Player two will open his or her eyes and try to determine the missing addend.
-
They must frame their answer like this, _____ and _____ is 6. So for example, if player one had the shark eat three fish it would sound like this, “3 and 3 is 6.
-
Have the players switch roles and keep playing.
Materials Needed: Plastic fish sand toy, gummy worms
Game is played the same as Hungry Shark
Materials Needed: Coconut bra (use just one side), gummy bears
Game is played the same as Hungry Shark
Five Little Fishies
Materials Needed: five fish puppets (bath mitts from the baby section), shark bath mitt (this one is from Target)
- Choose five students to be fish and one student to be the shark
- The students will stand in a line as the class does the Five Little Fishies poem. The children will sit down once their fish gets chomped.
- As a class state the equation, (for example, 5-1 is 4) each time a fish is chomped.
- When you first start subtraction, you may only want to work on ONE LESS, so the shark would only eat one fish at a time. Once your students have mastered one less you can let the shark chomp more than one at a time.

July 17 at 4:08 pmI really love using the shark, fish, coconut bras to help with subtraction. I think they are so engaging and easy to have out for multiple centers or even when kids finish early to work on. thank you!

July 17 at 5:25 pmI love the flash card idea. Great to use in math for subitizing. I always have a hard time flipping to the next card but this will help a lot!!

July 18 at 1:58 pmAnd I thought I'd never, EVER buy a coconut bra! Who knew you could use them in the classroom! I love all of the missing addend activities. I teach third, but I'm thinking I could still use this with my students. I'd start with a higher sum. It would be a PERFECT first day partner activity! (Goldfish would be better than gummy worms for me since I'll have higher sums! Less sugar!)

Terra Louvier says
July 22 at 1:52 amI loved the coconut bra idea so much that I went out and got it today…LOL. My daughter is having a luau for her birthday party this weekend and my oldest daughter was with me when buying things for her party and was in complete shock when I picked it up. She said, "There is no way you are wearing that to the party! "They" won't fit in there!!!"
