If math problem was stated correctly and correct answer was given the student keeps the card, if not then the card goes back in the tub and give the can a shake It is the next person’s turn When a crash card is pulled all of the cards that have been put back in the tub. Continue with this process until the teacher tells the students to clean up Whoever has the most cards when the teacher calls time is the winner!!!! Writing Center Courtesy of Kimberly Dietz and Lisa Hutto both are first grade teacher from MCCS #201 Can be used for any subject and grades K-8 MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE THE PROJECT: A Pringles can cut in ½ to make 2 storage containers Popsicle sticks Markers Wrapping paper (optional) HOW TO SET UP THE GAME:  ON ONE END OF EACH STICK : Write division problems Write any vocabulary words that you would like the students to know Write any questions that you would like the students to answer On the other end of the stick number them 1- however many problems you will have (this is for the answer key) Place the sticks in the can To make the can look nice take a piece of wrapping paper around the can HOW TO PLAY Each student pulls a the desired amount of sticks that the teacher states (fewer sticks for the younger grades more sticks for the older grades) If it is a math problem is a division problem the student must write a story problem to match the popsicle stick. The student must also solve the problem on their writing sheet If the student pulls a popsicle stick about a vocabulary word, the student must give a definition in his or her words and then give an example with numbers If the student pulls a popsicle stick with a question he or she must answer the question in a complete sentence. When the teacher calls time the students will turn in the sheet that was completed.

2. Tic Tac Toe Courtesy of Kathy Jaeger a special education resource specialist from the Grundy County Co-Op Can be used for any subject and grades K-8 MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE THE PROJECT: A small shower curtain (cut into 4 equal pieces) Duct tape sponge Die Sharper marker HOW TO SET UP THE GAME: take the duck tape and make a tic tac toe game board Write the numbers on the curtain HOW TO PLAY Each student will need a piece of paper that has the tic tac toe game board so they can write the math problem and log write their initials The student with the longs hair can roll the die (that will be the number that the first set of multiplication problems will be multiplied by (example 3) The other student will toss the sponge on the big tic tac toe board (example: it lands on a 9) Both students write the multiplication problems down on the sheet of paper, and it must be written in the square that the sponge landed on (example if the sponge landed in the middle square on the big board, they must write 3x9 in the middle of the tic tac toe game board on their worksheet) The student that throw the sponge gets the to answer the problem first, if they are right, then get to initial the problem, if wrong the other player gets a chance to answer the problem, if right the second player gets to initial the problem. Continue with this process until one of the players wins the game or teacher says “time” If a student get s a tic tac toe before time is up, they will start a new game and repeat the steps above.
