Math File Folder Game

Math

I simply took some scrap paper wrote 'Math' on it and taped it on the folder. This is how I titled all of the folders.

Inside the folder on the left I wrote the different activities there are for the folder.
Example:

Domino Math
Addition
Substraction
Equation Building

For some reason this one was the hardest for me to come up with.

The activities for this one are more interactive for younger children. They may need help from an adult to start off.

Domino math I found the printable in the picture below (I do not recall where) and made my own domino's to fit out of card stock. I didn't want to buy a whole set of domino's. For this activity you pick a domino and place it on the picture. You write the number of dots on the left side in the place provided below it and the same on the write. In the = space you write the total number of dots.

This can be done with both addition and subtraction.

I have 2 of the tree worksheets. On the bottom right of the tree there is a box to write a number then you place that number of animals in the tree. Because there are two you can add/ subtract the two trees.

The trees do not have equations on them and allows for practice writing out equations.

Elephant Faces

Elephant Faces (masks) We used: Three paper plates Paint or markers Paint brushes Stapler Scissors Yarn First paint the bottom of the paper plate. While the kids painted I cut the other paper plate in half for the ears. Using the third plate I cut out the textured part of the plate to make the trunks. Paint (or color) the rest of the pieces. Staple them together to make an elephant. Cut out small holes for eyes and small holes behind the ears to attach the yarn. Now that the lesson is over I have the masks hanging in the playroom. They make a neat decoration.

Painting With Squirt Guns

We did this as a Fathers Day project, but it fits in outside play perfectly. I liked this for Fathers because it was an interactive activity for the kids to do with Jerry to celebrate him and the time they enjoy spending with him. I filled 1 gun with yellow paint and 2 guns with black paint. The squirt guns we used were from the dollar store and had a decently big hole to pour the paint into. Some squirt guns have itty bitty holes that make squirting paint into the gun very difficult. Taped off the canvas...and made the kids pose Then the guns were handed to the kids and dad. Instructions were to shoot the canvas not each other. Very simple. Start squirting! The squirting went on and on. I refilled the guns a couple times so the activity could continue. Jerry also took time with each Dragon to squirt with them. With a Star Wars theme we were looking at having black as the primary color and yellow as the secondar

Mini Story Boards

Mini Story Boards We used: Foam Cookie sheets Magnets Paper I found the cookie sheets at the dollar store and loved the idea of the kids telling their own stories using movable magnets. I cut out flowers with the foam (you can cut out any design and use construction paper instead of foam) and little people then stuck a magnet to the back. I cut out bugs and stuck magnets to the back of those too. Then I drew little scenes that would inspire a story and put them on the cookie sheet. One demonstration and their imaginations took off on their own :)
