Mathematics and FCIT

Check out the new activity sheets that have been added to the site!  In addition to the skip-counting sheets using dominoes and bundles of sticks, there are new ones involving money.  You can have students practice counting by tens using images of stacks of dimes or count by fives using images of stacks of pennies.  This is a great way to make the skill relevant to your students.  Additional sheets can be made by accessing the currency page on Math Clipart. 

The Educational Technology Clearing House has links to numerous interactive websites for students in all grade levels.  This would be a great place to direct math students and parents for summer enrichment and/or remediation activities.  If you’re sending an end-of-year letter home to parents, consider listing this resource.

Dominoes are an excellent manipulative to use for teaching skip counting.  The clipart site has every possible domino.  Here is an acivitiy sheet created with dominoes found on the clipart site.  It has students use dominoes to count by fives.  There are other sheets that can be found on the main math site or you can create your own using the dominoes found in clipart.
