Math Activities
In this lesson we will work on our math skills for the second grade. I will hand out some math worksheets for the students to work on but to help make it more hands on and engaging for the students we will use M&M's or Skittles to subtract or add to the equation. Another activity we can do in the lesson would be to place numbers all over the room and then let the students get out of their chair and go around with a paper and find all the hidden numbers and add them up to see who finds them all and adds them up correctly. This is a great activity because hands on involvement is very good for the classroom as well as getting them out of their seats so they can get rid of some of their energy. Each student will be able to count by 5's and listen to directions and use conprehension skills.
The last activity is actually one I saw in class today that was amazing and really had the students involved and engaged.
