Math Mat & first day of ESY

Some of you know that I teach special education. Today we had our first day of ESY (summer school) and it went fantastic!!! We tried out some of the pirate themed games I have made and the kids loved them. Tomorrow we are making a trail mix where each part represents something from the ocean. I will try to post pictures tomorrow night.


Today I made a Treasure Chest Math Mat. I plan on having the kids roll a die and put that number of gold coins on their chest. For some kids I may just call out a number and have them put that number on. I may also put coins on their mat and just have them tell me how many are there. I will all depend on the student and the ability level.

Enjoy! Please let me know what you think and share, share, share!!!
