Jump the Shapes

Have students begin on START HERE. Have them jump on the “triangle” block and say, “Triangle. A triangle has three sides.” Have students bend down and point to each side and count, “One, two, three.” Then say, “A triangle has three vertices,” and count the vertices.
Next, have them jump on the “square” block and say, “Square. A square has four sides.” Have students bend down and count the sides and vertices. Continue with this pattern for the rest of the mat.

Bean Bag Addition and Subtraction

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 thirds or only sixths). To make this activity more difficult, have them toss one bean bag on the thirds column and one on the sixths column and find the common denominator to solve. Have them write their answer both as a fraction greater than one and a mixed number.

Using small whiteboards or paper on a clipboard is a great way to have students solve their problems while interacting with the floor mat.
