Makin' It Math! -- Mid-Month Linky -- {October 15}

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by for our brand-new monthly linky---Makin' It Math!  It's a linky dedicated solely to math made-its.  To learn more about the linky and how you can participate, click here!

I have been busy with several things...

Place Value Cubes

I have been making some new sets of place value cubes to start using with my kids this week.  They are so easy to make and are a fabulous tool for independent practice use while meeting with guided math groups. The best part is that you can customize them for your students' needs.  Feel free to download my free directions for making the cubes!  You can make up your own activities, or you may like the ones I have listed in my TpT store.



Low-Prep Halloween Math Games

I shared this made-it in our previous post, but this is my newest math made-it. I just finished putting a Halloween spin on some math games I have used in past years. These games are perfect for my kids' independent practice needs right now.  Thanks to Krista Wallden for her spookly clipart--so much FUN! You can check out the games in my TpT store, but you can also enter to win one of three two copies!  Good luck to you!

    1. Sorry for the delay--I included a note at the start of my post about the difficulty I was having with my computer this a.m. and I was not home until late this evening. Everything is up and running now... Thanks for stopping by!

  3. I am new to Guided Math and trying to find meaningful center activities for my students. I wouldn't really want to make some for just one season but you had me at No-Prep!
