Target Finds: Math Fact Practice Activities

If you follow me on Instagram and/or Facebook, you have already seen the two trips I made to two different Targets on the same afternoon..... Yes, I definitely have a Target addiction!!

Both stores were starting to put out their Back to School items in the Dollar Section, and that means *huge* deals for us teachers! Here are my hauls from yesterday:

USA flash cards, USA/World map dry erase boards, flash cards, "wipe clean" cards, to-do list, dry erase pockets & teal {of course!} magazine boxes

*TEAL!* pocket charts, lightbulb sticky notes, Math Bingo, and grading-themed stickers

If your Target doesn't have these items yet, don't worry- they will soon! There are even more items that I've seen around Instagram that my Targets didn't have, so I know I'll be back (yahoo!).

For those of you who do Math Rotations, or are just looking for some fun ways to jazz up Fact Practice in your room, I put together a little bundle of what I found in the Dollar Section to help:

Here's how I use/plan to use them in our Fact Practice Rotation:

• Flash Cards: I now have all four operations, so students can work with a partner and make two piles- one of known facts, and one of facts they still need to practice
• Math Bingo: These will be fun boards to use if a small group is in Fact Practice. This usually happens with my highest group, so I can easily see them using this game without the need to adult intervention. This game would also be a great filler after a test or on days when the Lesson Work is short.
• Dry-Erase Pockets: The back side of the included sheet already has some math problems, so it was a perfect demo of how you can use them! Plus, they save paper and you can even have a folder with a variety of inserts to help your students practice a wide variety of facts (not just the operations, but geometry, measurement, money, etc.).
• "Wipe Clean" Cards: I picked some up in each operation and like how quick and simple they are. There are four questions and the answers are written very small on the back. There are questions on the front and the back, so kids can work independently and get a lot of practice done with not a lot of materials to worry about.

Has your Target put out these great items yet? Any items I missed? I am always looking for an excuse to go back ;) Happy shopping!
