Trick or Treat Blog Hop - iPad Tricks and Math Treats

Hi!

Welcome to my blog and our Trick or Treat Blog Hop!

Hope you'll find some goodies you like!

The trick I'm sharing is one related to technology.

I have 7 iPads in my room, all of which I've obtained through grants.

I was looking for a way to store the iPads during the day, and found what I believe to be the perfect item.

It's a dish drainer from Bed, Bath, and Beyond!

It was sturdy, and pretty inexpensive (with a coupon of course!).

I have a chatty group this year, and I've noticed my third graders were spending quite a bit of their iPad time yucking it up with those that were sitting near them.

So, I made these signs and hung them up in various isolated spots around the room.

There are times when I want them to work in pairs or small groups on the iPads, but many times they are working on the devices alone.

I've found they're more productive and on task when they are separated.

My treat for you is a product that was just added to my Teachers Pay Teachers store, and will be free during this blog hop.  

I have just added Multiplication Count-By Cards!

My third graders are learning the multiplication facts, and I created these cards as a way for them to review the multiples.

Students can sort and order these count-by cards to become more familiar with the multiplication facts.

You can find the Multiplication Count-By Cards here.

I am also giving away one of most popular products.

Do you teach series books?

My third graders just devour a variety of book series, and I've developed a unit of "I Can...." Statements and related reflection sheets to use when reading series books.
