Jumbo Checkers Measurement Facts Freebie
Happy Sunday! Some of my students are having the HARDEST time with measurement facts which is vital to mastering common core standards 4.MD.A.1 and 4.MD.A.2. At a visit to Cracker Barrel the other week, I picked up the old-fashioned jumbo checkers rug game and converted it to a measurement facts game. I made circle questions […]
Area Animal Magic
Here’s an activity I’ve done twice now with my students that is a lot of fun, although it still needs some tweaking to get it to go smoothly. It basically involves growing animals from those fun little magic capsules we had as children, and then measuring their area by tracing them on centimeter squared graphing […]

Self-Checking Center Cards (Poke Cards)
When it comes to centers and stations, any activity that is self-checking is my best friend! It saves me a lot of headache, and students receive automatic feedback and become more independent. That’s why I love poke cards. They do take some extra work to prepare, but once they’re created, your work is done. Now […]
