Test Prep Station 2: Addition & Subtraction (2nd Grade)

Second in a Series of Year-End Math Test Prep ActivInspire Flipcharts with Camping Theme
This Addition & Subtraction (Numbers & Operations) Flipchart has 45 questions to be used to review expected testing skills for 2nd grade on year-end testing. This chart can be used with Activotes or ActivExpressions. An added bonus includes a list of Essential Questions for the skills in the the flipchart, along with the Georgia GPS Standards that apply to this flipchart. Most mimic the Common Core Standards.
Skills in this file vary in difficulty to differentiate and distinguish your Level 3 students from your Level 1 students, with Level 2 in between. The following skills are included in this review flipchart based on the expected standards for 2nd grade math in numbers and operations:
Three-Digit Addition with & without regrouping
Three-Digit Subtraction with & without regrouping
Finding the value of the unknown (box)
Fact Families - One-Digit using Dominoes
Fact Families - Two-Digit using Hundreds Grid
Inverse Operation - Choosing the correct problem to check
Equal Equations - Solving for the unknown (box)
Word Problems - Single and Multi-Step
Basic Properties of Addition using Benchmark Numbers

This series of flipcharts is being developed to review all standards with my students for math prior to taking their cummulative year-end testing. There will be 12 stations in all:
Station 1: Place Value
Station 2: Addition & Subtraction
Station 3: Estimation
Station 4: Money
Station 5: Graphs
Station 6: Time (clocks)
Station 7: Temperature
Station 8: Measurement
Station 9: Geometry
Station 10: Fractions
Station 11: Multiplication
Station 12: Division

These flipcharts will be uploaded daily as they are ready, so be sure to follow me to get the notifications, and leave a comment once you have used them with your students. 

Even if you have Smartboards, you can still download and use Promethean files. Look for your import within your menus :)

Thank you for your interest. I hope you find my work beneficial to you and your students. I strive for a top quality and immediate classroom use.

Tropical "Times" Multiplication Fun

Wow, what a busy year this has been! I am growing so many ways as a teacher and I have been teaching for 14 years already. This is my fourth year in 2nd grade and absolutely loving it. The challenging part this year has been meeting the kids where they are by setting up flexible groups that change as their needs change. The only block of time that I have where the kids aren't in specific skill groups is Whole Group Reading at 2nd Grade Level (50 minutes). For all my other blocks, I have groups that are working on the skills they need to be working on. One thing I can say is "Thank You Lord for TPT and Pinterest!" I am forever laminating and cutting and sorting and preparing and monitoring and rotating center activities, but I know it is worth it. I have even started making some of my own games and activities as I see the need for them. Maybe they may fill a need in your classroom, too :) I am beginning to post my files here, but also have a store at TPT. My newest creation is a multiplication game called "Tropical Times" which is a beginner "I Have Who Has" multiplication game that only includes multiplication facts of 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's, the facts my second graders come to me knowing from first grade, most of them anyway. To help them understand the concept of multiplication, I have included on each card the array of that math fact. Visual representation, eye appeal, seeing the repeated addition, and a game format helps all my students be successful. The game cards include all the math facts for the above four groups, except 0. For struggling students, I start them out with an easier card. For my students that need to be challenged, I give them several cards and make sure they are some of the more difficult facts. I also included a recording sheet to help all the students stay on task as the game is played, reinforcing all the facts in the game, not just the one or two cards they had. My kids LOVE "I Have Who Has" in any content area. Not only does it build the skill, but it builds their confidence in speaking out in a group. Here is a link to my "Tropical Times" multiplication activity at TPT.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope everyone has a great upcoming week.

President's Day Freebie

Hope everyone is doing great! I decided to try and post a few of my creations here. Let me know what you think :)


First, I am posting a link to my first FREEBIE, "Alien Attack: Multi-Syllable Nonsense Word Game." I created this game to give my students practice for the Lexia CRT test that they take 3 times a year. They are required to read multi-syllable nonsense words correctly in order to meet their grade level benchmark. This game helps them break words into syllables so they can decode and read the words. I hope this game will help other students who need this practice. Click the link below to get your free copy :)
