Have a student toss two bean bags onto the mat. Then, have the student add or subtract the numbers. To make this activity easier, make sure they toss the bean bags in the same column (only halves or only fourths). To make this activity more difficult, have them toss one bean bag on the halves […]
Follow the same instructions as Bean Bag Addition and Subtraction, but instead of adding or subtracting, have students multiply.
Follow the same instructions as Bean Bag Addition and Subtraction, but instead of adding or subtracting, have students divide.
Students will read a problem from a worksheet or flashcard. Have them reinterpret it, solve it, and then hop to that answer on the mat. Examples: ½ x 2 = 1…SO…1 x 2 ÷ 2 = 1 ¼ X 4 = 1…SO…1 x 4 ÷ 4 = 1 ¾ x 3 = 9/4…SO…3 x 3 […]
Clip a math worksheet on a clipboard. Have your student figure out the answers to the fraction problems by walking or jumping on the mat.
Important: Have students face the positive numbers when adding and the negative numbers when subtracting, and make a 180 degree turn for each negative sign (not including the first number in the equation). Two negatives require a 360 degree turn canceling the change in direction. Sample Questions: 3/2 – 4/2 = -3/4 – 1/4= 10/4 […]
Use this mat to help students understand the relationships of fractions, decimals, and percentages. Sample Questions: What is equivalent to 350%? What fraction?_____________ What decimal?________________ What is equivalent to 250%? What fraction?_____________ What decimal?________________ What is equivalent to 325%? What fraction?_____________ What decimal?________________ What is equivalent to 225%? What fraction?_____________ What decimal?________________ What is equivalent […]
Cover up all of the examples of one type of number, such as all of the percentages, all of the decimals, or all of the fractions on each block of the mat. Have students figure out what each would be based on the other information given on the block. For example, for the ½ block, […]
Write all of the percentages/fractions/decimals from the mat on note cards. Cover up all of the examples of one type of number, such as all of the percentages, all of the decimals, or all of the fractions on the mat. Have students take turns matching a notecard to its place on the mat. For example, […]
Ask your students the following questions. As you ask them the questions, have them touch the answers. Having students cross their bodies as they touch the fractions will enhance learning and engage both sides of the brain. Where is the whole number one? Touch it. How long is it? Can you measure it? Can you […]
