Directions: 

Each pair of cherries has 2 cherries. Skip count by 2s to find the sum. 

Students are asked to skip count by 2s up to groups of 10. 

For more advanced students, I recommend having them write 
a repeated addition and/or multiplication sentence 
to represent each question.

This 29 page download includes 5 activities or centers with printable worksheets and coin manipulative cards. These activities are aligned with CCSS 2.MD.8. Scaffolding, Extension, and alternative variations to these activities are offered in the teacher instructions.

Please note when you print out the coin cards if you print the front and back the value of the coin will be on the back of the coins. There are 8 pages of 8 coin cards. 

The center activities include:
Concentration- print out as many coin cards and values as appropriate for your group. For this game do not print the coins and values front to back. Students lay out the cards face down. Partners take turns turning over cards to match the amount of coins with the value.

Quiz Quiz Trade– Print the coin cards on page 4-19 front to back. Cut them apart and give one to each student. Have students quiz each other to see if they can count the correct amount. Partners then trade cards and find a new partner. 

War– Give students one set (page 4-19 front to back, cut out). Students split all the cards between each other. Each partner turns over one card at a time. The student with the larger total takes both cards. Continue playing until one person is out of cards. If there is a tie, both partners lay down three cards face down, then turn the fourth over, the person with the highest fourth card takes all 
cards played that turn.

Draw and Add– Using the additional handout on page 20 and 23 on the back to show their work. Students will work in partners. Each student will draw one card at a time. Partners have to add their coin amounts together. (This activity could be done individually, student would just draw two cards.) Extension– Roll, Draw, and Add. Same routine except roll a dice. Student draws that many cards and adds them together.

Draw and Subtract– Using the additional handout on page 21 and 23 on their back to show their work. Students will work in partners. Each student will draw one card at a time. Each individual will find the values of their coins. Partners will subtract the smaller value from the larger value. (This activity could be done individually, student would just draw two cards.)

Ordering Coins– Give each student or pair of students a sheet of coins. Use page 23-24 Have each individual or partnership calculate the total of each card on the sheet. Have students cut the cards apart and put them in order from least to greatest.

The Essay Map is an interactive graphic organizer that enables students to organize and outline their ideas for writing assignments. 

Use this graphic organizer to develop an outline for an essay that includes an introductory statement, main ideas, supporting details, and a conclusion.

I used this with my 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students to help them review and improve their writing. 

If any of their boxes are checked "NO" they must go back and correct the mistakes and check the "CORRECTED" box after they have fixed their mistakes. 

I kept this sheet at our Writing Center and also had students use them for Writing Homework assignments. 

Hope this helps =)

The reference sheet focuses on the following

• Inches, feet, yards, mile

Are you overwhelmed by the idea of finding, making, and running literacy centers or math centers in your classroom? Centers don't have to be complicated--you can learn how to create and manage learning centers quickly and easily. This item is a 13 page PDF excerpted from my eBook, "The Cornerstone: Classroom Management That Makes Teaching More Effective, Efficient, and Enjoyable."

In just this single chapter (13 pages!), you'll learn:

-How to decide if centers are the best use of your time (and your students' time) by weighing the advantages and drawbacks
-Discover activities other than centers that students can do during reading group rotations
-Create a reading group rotation that makes teaching easier for you and more meaningful for your students
-Ensure that centers are serving your intended purpose and moving students toward learning goals
-Learn how centers can be used at different times during the school day (not just during your literacy block)
-Explore how mixed-ability center groups can help you differentiate for students' individual needs
-Design a system for students to take centers back to their seats or use them in designated areas around the room
-Choose useful learning center materials and organize them well
-Create an easy system for determining who goes to each center at each time
-Determine how to assess center work and figure out if students are using their time wisely
-Introduce center routines and procedures to the class so that centers run smoothly

______________________________________


Materials Needed:

• 1 clipboard, white board or solid, portable surface for each student to write on
  
• Tape, Velcro or a similar device to post the images around the classroom
  
• 15 pieces of colored construction paper (optional)
  

STEP 1: 
Before the students enter the class, post the 15 pictures clockwise around the room in numerical order. I would recommend being creative with where you are placing the pictures. Don’t make it TOO easy for the students to find them. Place some on the floor, windows, behind doors, on the sides of shelves, etc. I would also suggest placing a sheet of colored construction paper on the back of each picture so that it will stand out from the other papers you have throughout the classroom. 


STEP 2: 
When it’s time to begin the lesson, inform your students that you have posted several pictures throughout the room and explain that their job is to review each photo and make an inference based on the images and captions. They will record their responses on the handouts provided as they walk around the room with their clipboards / personal white boards. They should not debate about the photos with each other until after the lesson. All answers should be original and students should not be asking each other for their opinions on the pictures until they finish the carousel. 

THIS IS A SILENT ACTIVITY.

The goal is for students to make an educated guess about what is happening (or what will happen) based on what they see, what they've read and what they know or have personally experienced. Ultimately, they should read between the lines and expand upon the story line provided. Students should avoid repeating the caption in their responses, but that doesn't necessarily make their responses incorrect. The Possible Responses provided on the following pages will give you a better idea of the more acceptable inferences. 



STEP 3: 
Individually call on students to begin the Inference Carousel. For example, the first student you select should start at Picture #1 (or whatever number you choose). The next student should begin at the following (or different) picture and then continue walking clockwise around the room. Students should make sure the picture they are currently looking at corresponds to the correct number on their handout. If they begin at Picture #12, they should be recording their responses on the sheet where it says “Picture #12”. 
Please stress the importance of paying attention to the “Picture #” when recording their answers.


STEP 4: 
Once my students were finished with the carousel, we reviewed each photo with the responses from around the room to generate a discussion about how and why they came up with their inferences. Obligating them to include the word “because” in all of their responses made it much easier for them to explain the reasoning behind their conclusions and gave room for other students to argue their opinions when they didn’t make the same inference.

***Please note that you only need to print pages 1-20 for the first lesson***


Lesson Modifications:
Inference Merry – Go – Round 
An alternative to having students walk around the room would be to put their desks together in the form of a large circle. Pass out the images one at a time and have students continually circulate the pictures until everyone finished. A student should never have more than one picture at their desk at once. This is another reason why it is very important for them to pay close attention to the “Picture #s”. Please note that you can conduct the lesson in the very same way, the only difference is that the students remain seated.

This sheet can be used for each vocabulary word in the student's personal dictionary. 

Suggestions:

• Punch holes in the document before handing out to students and have them keep track of their word meaning sheets with a 3 ring binder.
• Allow students to create their own decorative cover pages
  
• Allow students to draw or cut & paste images on a separate sheet of paper to accompany select vocabulary words.
