I'm linking up with Hope from Second Grade Shenanigans for some Throwback Thursday fun!! The throwback post I want to share today is all about math workshop! It's full of ideas and activities {including freebie downloads} for teaching numbers to 120.
Enjoy!

Math Workshop: Learning All About Numbers to 120
One of my FAVORITE parts of the day is our math workshop time! My little mathematicians have been working hard on learning all about counting and writing numbers to 120 {our very first unit}:) Here are many of the activities we've been using over the last few weeks...I absolutely adore them because they keep my students engaged, interacting with one another, moving around, and most importantly, having lots of fun!!
Minute to Win It
Mystery Bags
Scoot
This
is a fun
whole group activity you can use to practice, review, or assess counting
to
120. I love it because it gives my wiggly students a chance to move around the
room while they work! This Scoot game focuses on figuring out the missing number on each card.
Scoot #2
This
Scoot game is similar to the one I just showed you except the numbers
are on a number line. It was a great game and formative assessment last
Friday. You can download a free copy of it {here}!
Great
whole group game to help students build their number sense! I love
playing this at the beginning or end of our math workshop!! It's also a
great filler if you need something meaningful to do in just 5 minutes!!
Order Up
This activity can be used independently or in a small group. Students pull 6 number cards out of a bag
and put them in order from least to greatest or greatest to least. You
can easily differentiate the activity by the numbers you give the
students to choose from.
Number Puzzles
These number puzzles have been a great tool for teaching/reinforcing the different ways to represent a numbers
{tally marks, base ten blocks, number words, numerals, etc.}.
What's Next and Before?
These activities can be used for independent or small
group practice to reinforce counting from any number less than 120. Students pull a number card out of a bag and write the 5 numbers that come
before/after it.
Number Line Fun
We
made number lines {1-120} and played a missing numbers game. Students
used tiles to "hide" numbers while their partner wasn't looking. Then
the partner had to figure out which numbers were missing! You can
download a free copy of the number line {here}.
Pass the Paper
Don't you love when something simple works so well?! This is a simple game designed for small group
practice to reinforce counting and
writing numbers 0- 120. I put my students in teams of 4-5. When I say “GO”, each student in the
group writes one number in the blank 120 chart. For example, student 1 writes a
0 and passes it to student 2 who writes a number 1. This continues this until
their chart is completed with numbers 0-120. The first group to finish their
120 chart wins the game! Seriously, they want to play this every.single.day. Love!!!
My sweeties also ask me to play these counting songs every.single.day....I bet your students will love them, too!!

I bought this unit earlier this year and used it with my firsties. I love knowing that I'm buying things that have alrady been successfully used in a Georgia first grade classroom. These quick activities really helped me see who needed help with counting sequence. They were great to have on hand to pull when I needed them. Thank you for this fabulous resource!

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful math ideas!

Thank you so much for these awesome ideas! They are a real treasure for me. It is going to be the first year of my career and I am searching for ideas and methods which were really used in the classroom. I am working on my dissertation (thanks to great dissertation proposal help ) and nearly have no time, so such blogs are so supporting and the photos are just what we need. I am sure that mathematic is not a boring thing in such classroom.
