PUMPKIN PROBLEM SOLVING


SQUARE PUZZLERS are fun, yet challenging brain teaser puzzles for kids. They exercise critical thinking & problem solving, build perseverance & stamina, and stimulate the brain while disguising it all as fun. Similar to Scrambled Squares(TM), these printable, differentiated, logic puzzles must be reconstructed so the images match on every interior side. Use them for centers, stations, rotations, fast finishers, enrichment, GATE, and/or a class reward. Adored by all ages.



While the theme of this product is Halloween, the graphics have been chosen carefully to preclude concerns about frightening and/or evil visuals. The icons used are owls, pumpkins (no Jack-o'-lanterns), candy corn, and bats. All objects are presented in rainbow colors, adding to the light and happy feel of the puzzles.



Critical thinking is a TREAT with these fun puzzles!

IT'S PUMPKIN LEARNING TIME

 

Pumpkins are great for pies and lattes and fall decor.  They are also great for learning.

Let me reiterate that I LOVE combined disciplines in teaching activities. VOCABULARY FRACTION TASK CARDS  accomplish just that.

Here's how they work:


HALLOWEEN VOCABULARY FRACTION TASK CARDS are ideal for working with content vocabulary and fractions. They work well in centers, for enrichment, and for "calculating the room."


My students cannot get enough of these challenging task cards.  As one said, "They hurt my brain, but I love them."



If your learners adore them as much as mine do, you can find many more sets to satisfy them here.

PUMPKIN LEARNING TIME!

 


It's that pumpkin time of year. My favorite!

During this time, I love to fill my classroom with pumpkin activities. I also love to combine disciplines whenever possible. Thus, I challenge my students to combine word work with computation by engaging them in SCRATTLE.

SCRATTLE is a center, small group, or individual activity that my learners adore. Like Scrabble (TM), students create words from a set of letters. They then calculate the value of their words. But that's not all. I encourage friendly competition by inviting them to have a SCRATTLE BATTLE with a friend(s).

SCRABBLE + BATTLE = SCRATTLE

There are so many positives to this activity:

  1. Open ended word work
  2. Computation practice
  3. Differentiation - use the recording sheet that best fits your students' math abilities
  4. Efficient use of time
  5. Can be used multiple times with increasing enthusiasm
  6. Competition spurs students to create more complex words
  7. This activity is FREE!!!



Try it! You'll like it!



If your students love SCRATTLE, as I'm sure they will, I have a SCRATTLE shop in my TPT store. All SCRATTLE products are FREE!
