Get your students excited for place value to 100 with our Hop to It pack - perfect for spring!
5 engaging hands-on activities are included for working with tens and ones!
Here is a sneak peek at the butterfly puzzles:
Students find 2 wing pieces for each 2 digit number that make the butterfly's number.
Ideas for extension:
- ask students to build with real blocks too
- find the total of the 'double' (number made by combining the picture and the objects - e.g. student would discover 58 with the 29 puzzle)
- encourage students to 'round' to the nearest ten (make 30 with the 29 puzzle)
- find the difference (early subtraction) between this number and the next ten
If you're in our Pond Coloring Club your students make also like to make a shape butterfly. Along with their paper craft skills you can play a math warm up!
Butterfly's Shape Wings
Tell students that a hexagon block (like the top wing) is worth 10 when they hear it drop into a cup. A circle (counter) is worth one.
Now make some 2 digit numbers by dropping the shapes into cups and have your students call the total by calculating the tens and ones!
I hope your students love these activities and have fun in math this week!
