I'm back with tutoring Tuesdays! I had a great session of tutoring last Thursday just like I always do. She is so much fun! Her parents are absolutely wonderful and supportive too!
This week we continued working on 2 digit subtraction by 2 digit subtraction. I let her pick out of two different sets of task cards and she picked 2 Digit Subtraction Dinosaurs Task Cards. This set comes with a board game that I used to make it more fun. If children land on the dinosaur they get chased back to start! The cards again can be written on if laminated or put in plastic sleeves with a dry erase marker, which is what I did with her. She did a fantastic job only missing a couple. One of those had the tricky 0 in the ones place. When she had another problem with that pesky zero she got it correct! She is an incoming 2nd grader! So very smart!
Then I went over a few problems with multiplication with 0's and 1's as factors. It took a few cards and then she completely understood how to multiply 0's and 1's. She started making up her own multiplication equations with 0's and 1's as factors and giving her mom and I the product! So very smart. We played a quick game with my Butterfly Multiplication Race using just the equations with 0's and 1's. The game has facts to 10! I had her give me the answer rather than write on it. Should children land on a snake they get chased back to start, but if they land on a butterfly they fly away from the snake and get to go again! So much fun!!!
Thanks for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling!
