IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for PUMPKINS!

 

It's pumpkin season! Celebrate with these pumpkin resources:

PUMPKINOES are domino-style math activities that are perfect for your fall math centers. These games and challenges exercise skills ranging from counting to critical thinking; basic operations to H.O.T.S. 

PUMPKINOES are open-ended, easily differentiated, and useful for all elementary classes. Take a peak:

How Many Ways? – Fall Edition is an open-ended, math bulletin board that is perfect computation practice for any elementary classroom. Challenge your students' critical thinking and fluency to determine how many ways they can reach the target number by combining the values on the pumpkins. The task is similar to Boogle^(TM) for numbers. Post the operation symbols and the target number you choose to easily differentiate the task.

These Latin Squares math puzzles will challenge children's deductive reasoning skills and help them acquire the critical thinking needed to solve Sudoku puzzles.  PUMPKIN SQUARES begin with an easy, 3x3 grid appropriate for young learners. The tasks progress gradually, increasing in difficulty up to a 7x7 grid. PUMPKIN SQUARES are available in print or digitally on TPT Easel.

IT'S ABOUT TIME for VOCABULARY FRACTIONS!

 

What, you may ask, are VOCABULARY FRACTIONS? They are task cards that challenge your learners' critical thinking skills, proficiency with fractions, and fluency with content specific vocabulary. But, your students will just think they are fun.

The task gradually increases in difficult, transitioning from 2 part clues with words and pictures to as many as 5 part clues with just pictures. In their quest to solve the riddle, pupils must deduce the correct word and its spelling. Solving equivalent fractions provides even more challenge.

Who needs VOCABULARY FRACTIONS?

• intermediate students
• enrichment students
• G/T learners
• small group learners needing extra practice on fractions
• fast finishers
• digital learners
• classes with a substitute teacher

Try them before you buy them!
