Review the Year!

Review skills as you go, or use the whole set at the end of the year with this set of 24 task cards.  The problems are balanced between addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, two-step problems, and geometry.  There are large cards to use with the whole group (I like to tape them up around the room and let the kids go around with clipboards), or there are small ones for small groups.  I created black and white as well as full color depending on your printing preference!  (Maybe you're almost out of color ink this year!?)  I hope you enjoy them!! 

Two ways to find them: TPT or Buy Sell Teach! 

Larger size cards for the whole class to use around the room!

Simple addition as well as more challenging problems.

Smaller cards in colorful chevron borders.

Small cards can be printed in black ink to save money!

Task Card and Game Overload? Organize!

     I think my task cards I've made and bought are some of my favorite things in my classroom.  When I started collecting them, I knew I needed a good way to store them along with my one-page games.  At first, I started using a huge binder and protective sheets for everything, but it immediately started getting too fat with all those pieces in there.  I had to come up with a workable system.

Here is how I do it:

• Keep task cards in those accordion coupon files (I have three sizes from Target Dollar Spot.)

  

  Target has such cute files!

• Keep task card originals and answer sheet originals in a small binder in sheet protectors.  I keep these originals even after my task cards are laminated and cut just in case we lose one of them! (and we will lose one sometime!)  I also put a sticky note on the original telling myself where the task cards are kept.
• Some answer sheets are hard to identify as to which task cards they go with, so I also add post-it notes telling myself which task cards the answer sheet matches.

• Keep single game boards (and worksheets) and wipe-off pages used over and over with dry erase markers in sheet protectors in a BIG binder. These can get bulky, so I use the biggest binder I have.
  
  
  

  

  I use heavy-duty sheet protectors

• Use dividers with tabs to separate wipe-off pages and games into different skills  (e.g. money, measurement, addition/subtraction games)

Do whatever works for you, but this system has kept me somewhat sane!  I have to stop buying task cards, I have to stop buying task cards, I have to stop buying task cards...

Comparing Perimeters Task Cards

I am always trying to anticipate what might be asked on our next big test.  I want to take the kids beyond the obvious (after they are really accurate with the obvious!)  Yes, our students know how to find perimeter, and yes, our students know that they subtract when comparing two numbers...What if they have to add up perimeters and THEN compare them. Here are some task cards (with QR codes for checking) that will give your class some rigorous practice and take perimeter beyond the obvious.
