The Great $1 Word Challenge
This is one of the best teaching challenges I have ever used! Year after year my students beg to do this and they have a voracious appetite for it. Such enthusiasm warms my teacher's heart!
So, what is The Great $1 Word Challenge? The simple answer is it's a quest for words that equal exactly $1 when the letters are valued like this:
Most $1 Word Challenges ask the students to discover words with no parameters; no clues. How daunting is that? So, I created clues that will lead students to such words. Along the way, they practice computation, calculator skills, dictionary & thesaurus skills, parts of speech, vocabulary development, prefixes, suffixes, verb tenses, plurals, spelling, editing, proof-reading, critical thinking, and problem solving. Talk about BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!
I'm a visual learner, so I created a series of visuals to explain these awesome challenges.
If your kiddos enjoy them as much as mine do, you will be grabbing more clues as fast as you can. You may be relieved to know that these clues are available in money saving bundles.
Did you notice that my images failed to include $1 Words 1.0? That's because I saved the best for last! The first unit is FREE!
You can try $1 Words before you buy them.
You don't have to take my word for how fun this project is. Read what your comrades have said:

April Math Center
It's about time, teachers, for ...
And a new month means new math centers and bulletin boards. Combine both in How Many Ways? - April Edition.
This is a fun, open ended, critical thinking, math challenge. It works well as:
- an anchor activity
- a math center
- a sponge activity
- a challenge for fast finishers
Reproduce the raincloud icons and place them on a bulletin board along with the How Many Ways? question of your choice. These icons come in color and black line; with and without counting dots. Choose the math operation(s) appropriate for your students and post them, as well. Then invite your students to determine how many ways they can reach the target number. Students may use each icon only once, however, they need not use every icon. Add an extra challenge by requiring that the numbers used must touch each other.
This activity is CCSS aligned.
My students use Post It notes. They write their equation(s) on a Post It and stick it up along the side of the display. At the end of each day, we calculate How Many Ways we found the target number. Then I put up a new target number and we are ready to go for the next day.

12 Days of Christmas -- Day 11
It's about time, teachers, to unwrap your gift for the 11th day of my 12 Days of Christmas giveaways.
This product is BRAND NEW and FREE for the 11th day of Christmas.
Since these will be used at a time of the year that can be filled with wiggles, the 36 task cards (or a portion of them) can be posted around the room. Then students can move about reading the ELF RIDDLES.
To find the answers to the riddles,
pupils must solve math problems that then provide the letters needed. The green cards require addition within 100
to unlock the code. The red cards use
subtraction within 100 and the blue cards require
multiplication of
two 1 digit numbers. This variety of
computation skills provides instant differentiation for your heterogeneous
class.
If you prefer, eschew the task
cards and use only the printables. Give
each student a copy of the computation clues sheet appropriate for his
abilities. Then give him the appropriate
riddle sheets. (I print them on 2 sides).
Now stand back and enjoy the giggles.
