OCTOBER MATH STATIONS + HALLOWEEN CCSS FREEBIE

Um . . . excuse me??  OCTOBER!!!  How did you get here so quickly??  I think I ramble on about time flying in darn near every post, but this 30-day run seemed to pass by us in warp speed.  Well, a huge welcome to you sweet October.  I say bring on the pumpkins, costumes, scary movies, and an ungodly amount of candy corn . . . it’s my absolute favorite month!!!!!  It’s my birthday too (we won’t mention the ripe old age I will be reaching this round.)

Speaking of a new month, I officially finished my October set of Math Station Activities, Games, & More.  As I stated last month, I am less than thrilled with our school’s math program choice and we have been supplementing like crazy to make up for all the mathematical “holes” this program leaves in our kiddos’ brains.  (Wow . . . that was harsh.  Sorry y’all.  However, it’s so true.)

Here’s the skinny on this packet.  We run math stations in the afternoon (see how my partner and I run with these HERE).  Each tub targets current and past standards.  Well, now that September is over, we needed a new collection of themed games and such.  My October Math Stations + More Packet will carry us through an entire month and will take care of most of the standards-based centers!

October’s Packet covers everything from subtraction and basic missing addend to tally marks, word problems, and graphing.  It even comes with a fun little song from Ron Brown’s Intelli-Tunes.  Oh, and the standards are conveniently located on each write up!  We aim to please around here

Not sure if this packet is for you and your darlings?  That’s okay . . . I won’t spit in your eye 🙂  But, how about if I offer up a little FREEBIE for you to try out? This way you can get a feel for how these games roll before you invest!  Our math program is already launching into the Commutative Property of Addition. However, they do it in a really high level way.  In my opinion, our students need to “get it” before they launch into all that tough junk and deeper thinking.  So, I created a quick little activity that helps kiddos see the commutative property in action.  On that note, I bring you . . . All Wrapped Up in Flip Flop Facts.
