Show me the MONEY!

We are currently learning about money, so I've compiled a list of digital resources you can use to help your students master the art of counting money.  This list includes websites, FREE apps, and a list of different activities you can do at www.ixl.com  (If you do not have a subscription to that FABULOUS website, then you can sign-up for a FREE 30-day trial.  Or, you can practice 20 problems per day for FREE.)

I also wanted to let you know that I now have 45 items in my TPT Store.  Click here to visit my store.  These items include study packs for StoryTown, Wonders Reading Series, Go Math! Series, QR Code Treasure Hunts, and some different Second Grade Science Packs.

Once I reach 100 followers, I will throw my first TPT SALE. 

Please click "Follow Me" on my TPT Store so you will be

Spread the word to all your second grade teacher friends.

Place Value Pictures

These were some of my favorites.

Their creativity amazes me!

Go Math!

I'm currently using Go Math! in my classroom.  I just finished Chapter 2- Numbers to 1,000 and wanted to share a "Study Pack" I created to go with that chapter.  

Click here to view my latest and greatest creation on TPT.  

I also wanted to share a fun idea you can use while teaching place value.  It's called "Place Value Pictures."  The students can create them during centers or during a whole group lesson.

Materials: 
Each student should have:
- one piece of construction paper 

- one glue stick

- one pair of scissors

- crayons
- one worksheet of base ten blocks (hundreds, tens, ones)

Click here to purchase a copy.

Or grab a copy in the "teacher resource" section

of your math textbook.

Directions:

Tell students to create a picture using base ten blocks.  Tell students to cut out as many of the base ten blocks they will need to make their picture.  Glue the base ten blocks on the piece of construction paper and use crayons to embellish the picture.  In the top right corner, write the value of the "picture."

** Enrichment Idea:  

Tell students their picture must be valued between 300-400.  Or, the value of their picture must be less than 515.

Check back tomorrow for some examples!
