COMPUTATION RIDDLES

 

The first quarter of the school year invokes review as students and teachers dust away the cobwebs. Make review more fun with COMPUTATION RIDDLES.   

Start the year off with SCHOOL RIDDLES. 

These math computation task cards give your 2nd and 3rd grade students addition within 100 practice while solving riddles about school.

To begin, they solve a set of addition problems.  Then use those sums to decode the answers to the riddles.

Stock your math center with the 20 task cards.  Also available for digital learning on TPT Easel.

Post them around the classroom for RIDDLES AROUND THE ROOM. Travelling around the room allows movement that reduces restlessness and improves learning.

Use them for math journal prompts. Just print the cards in grayscale.

Provide more review fun with:

There are holiday riddles as well, allowing you to provide continuous practice throughout the academic year.

If your learners love COMPUTATION RIDDLES, as I'm sure they will, check out the bundle.  Varied grade levels and operations are included.  And, the bundle is 1/2 price through Sat., 9/10/22.

TRY TRIADS for Critical Thinking

All of my TRIADS products have just been refreshed.  Every set of these critical thinking, word relationships building, task cards is available for digital learning on TPT Easel.  And, even better, the price of each product has been reduced!

If TRIADS are new to you, you are in for a treat.  Your 3rd - 6th grade learners will love the challenge of finding the common word for each TRIAD.

Currently, there are 11 TRIADS units available in my store, as well as 3 bundles. 

Try them before you buy them with this FREEBIE!

TRIADS units have 20 task cards each.  They are provided in color (minimally to save your printing costs), but will print well if you change your printer settings to grayscale.  

If you opt for grayscale printing, I recommend that you print the cards on colorful cardstock.  It will add pizzazz to your task cards.

 This bundle contains the above three products at 20% savings.

Triads are great for center work. I include a critical thinking center in my daily rotations. They exercise the upper 3 levels of Bloom's Taxonomy: analysis, synthesis, and creation.                 

TRIADS are also perfect for an anchor activity or a fast finisher's challenge.

Carry several TRIADS task cards with you when you travel to special classes.  If there is a delay before students can enter, use TRIADS for a sponge activity.

The above 3 sets are available in this money saving bundle.

As a GATE teacher, I created these to challenge my students' thinking.  It was a delightful surprise when my learners begged to do more of them! 

TRIADS were so popular with my classes that I kept making more until I had 180 in total.

 

It was an absolute delight when students began creating their own to challenge each other and me! 

These 3 sets are available in this 

economical bundle.

This set of TRIADS was created to add to my Feet, Socks, & Shoes line of products. It, too, is available in print and digitally on TPT Easel.

You'll love them!
