Turkey Math Station

Hey Gang! Thanksgiving is around the corner and so here is my math station this week. Here are the materials you will need: paper, pen, scissors, glue, markers, and dice.

Use cups to trace the body and head.

Glue the head and body together.

Draw face and talons.

Have the student roll a dice to make a fact family with pictures.

FREE STAAR Sorry Gameboard

I made this Sorry gameboard for our state assessment. Make/Print question cards for review for the test. I am using old TAKS consumables  that from our old math adoptions as questions. Students glue questions in math journal, answer the questions and roll to move their pawn. FUN!
