Check out my students having a blast on a hunt. I challenged them to find things in the classroom that were the length of 4 connecting cubes. They were nuts about finding things! I told them if they found something that was 4 units long, I would take a picture of it. It felt like I was attacked! I heard “Ms. Tobin” every 1 second, but I loved it! Enjoy this free math activity!
Here is what we found using this Free Math Activity.
My timer
My timer is one of the most used things in my classroom. Therefore, it was the first find for two students.
Used crayons
Of course, there are plenty of crayons in the classroom. Consequently, plenty of students used these as one of their finds.
Calendar Pieces
Above, you can see that pieces from our calendar worked great for their measurement adventure.
My Coupon for a Book Fair & a Post-it
Students are roaming behind my desk and the whiteboard. I gave them the freedom to grab the stuff they ordinarily weren’t allowed to. Accordingly, it was a hot spot for this free math activity!
Name Labels and Schedule Board Cards
Here, you can see the name labels on our mailboxes & My Daily 5 schedule board cards. They started to get creative about where they were looking. They were using the mailboxes and the bulletin boards.
