I got this idea from here. I just started using it so I’ll have to see how it goes. I use it as part of my math rotation. The students work on it and mark it themselves and I check it at the end of the lesson to see how they did.
We are wrapping up our unit on fractions, percentages, and decimals, so I’ve added all of that for consolidation.
You can probably modify it in so many different ways for math and even for language arts.
great idea and I can step it down for my first graders. Thanks for the pic.

Thanks! Thanks for visiting!
They are so easy to make and great for consolidating basic facts!
I am thinking about using this for my 8th graders next year. I will modify it of course.
Yeah, I’ll have to make a new one for my 6th graders next year, too.
I would love to use this for my 6th graders. What are your ideas on how to up it for 6th grade?
Hey Judy,
Thanks for visiting!
I’ll probably wait until I start up my class in September. It’ll be my first year teaching Grade 6 so I’ll have to wait and tailor it to my class. I’ll try and post one up when I make one for my class.
What a fun and great idea! Caught my attention immediately! No just for a class but to also do it at home. Thank you! And will share it on Facebook! @aznannies
Thanks for your kind words! Good ideas should be spread.
Thanks, I love the idea! I will start simple in the fall (4th graders) and add more skills as we progress!
Hey Marilyn,
Hope it goes well in your classroom!
Thanks for visiting. It is a simple math activity that gets kids thinking.
This is awesome! I’m going to use this in my room as a daily spirals and add to it as we cover new concepts! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hey Teresa! Thanks for visiting~ Yeah, it’ll be a great tool in the classroom.
Thank you for sharing this is a very good idea I too will keep it fairly simple for my 1st graders but I can see how I can differentiate for different levels. Love it!
Hi Kyla,
Thanks for visiting!
Yeah, that’s the great thing about this – it’s so easy to differentiate.
Hey i love this activity its a supurb idea. i cant wait to try it out
Hi Paulette,
Thanks for visiting!
Thanks! I’m sure you’ll have fun using this in your classroom~
Great! Keeps skills fresh. Do you make them show all their work or can they do some mentally as well?
Hi Susan,
I give them the freedom to work out the problem the way they want. But, I do ask them to do their work on the answer sheet if they want to work it out on paper.
I have shared this very cool strategy with my math colleagues…I will also use it from time to time in my technology classroom to integrate math in my program. Thanks for sharing “best practices”!!!
Hey! Thanks for visiting and your kind words. You’re right about sharing great ideas! Hope you have fun using this in your classroom!
A great idea!
Thanks!
I teach grades 4 and 5 and use a worksheet version of this that I created. You can download a free blackline master here: dailynumberstudy.com You can use it over and over for different numbers. (You can also buy a set of four levels, a teacher guide, and an answer key for over 60 numbers for $7.99).
