Math Fun: Twizzlers Percentages Book

Twizzlers Percentages Book written by Jerry Pallotta and illustrated by Rob Bolster is a fun way to introduce or review percentages with children.

The book is recommended for grades 2-4 but I would prefer to recommend it for grades 3-6 because of the amount of division and fractions involved.

Of course the great motivator in using this book with kids is the promise of being able to EAT your Math Manipulatives when the lesson is over!!!  :)

The book uses red (strawberry) and black (licorice) to illustrate common percentages but Twizzlers come in lots of colors now, so you could choose colors that coordinate with an upcoming holiday (red and green for Christmas, orange and black for Halloween, etc).

Each piece is 10% , red = 70%, black = 30%

Each piece = 50%, black = 50 % , red = 50%

Each piece = 25%,  black = 75%, red =25%

The author has lots of other fun math books which also use food to teach math.

Have fun combining math with literature!

                  

Addition Matching Game with Doubles

I have a fun Math Activity for the kids to use to help them develop fluency with their Addition Facts. This Spooky Spider themed math activity focuses on Adding Doubles from 0+0 to 10 +10 and can be used at Halloween or any time of the year.

The awesome clipart comes from Graphics From the Pond.

Addition Number Cards

The cards could be printed on photo paper or card stock and laminated if desired.

After the cards are cut apart and mixed up, students use the cards to match the Addends with the Sum. When they have completed this task, they can record their matches on the Recording Sheet. There is also an Answer Key for students to check their work.

The file contains color and grayscale cards. You can choose whichever is best for you. (Color ink is tough on the budget!) Some blank cards are also included for you to fill in your own numbers.

This activity aligns with the Common Core Standards for Grades 1 and 2 but is also great for Grade 3 students to use as a review. They could use the math cards to play Memory or Concentration.

Standards
1.OA.6 Add or subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency with addition and subtraction within 20.
2.OA.6 Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By the end of Grade 2, know from memory all the sums of two one-digit numbers.

Mystery Math - A First Book of Algebra

Mystery Math - A First Book of Algebra  by David A. Adler is a great source to combine math and a fun, spooky holiday. It's also a great help in introducing ALGEBRA VOCABULARY to young math students.

The math vocabulary used in the book includes:

• equation
• equal sign
• equal
• variable
• symbol
• algebra
• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide
• word problems
• algebra equations

In order to use the whole book, students need to understand all 4 operations (add, subtract, multiply, and divide). The beginning of the book could be used with younger students who understand addition and subtraction.

I like how the introduction compares an equation to a seesaw (both sides must be balanced).

The last two lines of the book are perfect for the message of the book. "Solving mysteries is fun! Algebra helps you solve math mysteries." The illustrations by Edward Miller are perfect for a spooky math lesson!

Also included in the book of the book is a set of directions to make a balance scale with a coat hanger and pennies so that students can clearly visualize an EQUATION.

This is the perfect season to read this book about a creepy haunted house with your students!

Have fun!
