Math task cards with multiple uses

If you are looking for a done for you set of task cards to save you time and make life easier, you’ll love this new set of Math Task Cards (coming soon) that focus on: 

  • place value
  • fractions
  • multiplication facts. 

These math task cards use a variety of activities that students can complete on their own. All you need to do is print (and laminate if you wish). Here are 3 ways to use your math task cards once they are ready.

Move for math

Place math task cards in different places around the room. Have students start at one spot and work on a task card until you signal it is time to move. On your signal, have them move to another card. Before you begin, explain what acceptable movement looks and sounds like (staying quiet, not running, etc.) and if there is a progression between cards or if students should simply move to a card they have not done yet.

Things to do when you’re done

Do you have early finishers? Of course, you do. Math task cards are a great way to engage them until others finish or the lesson time is done. Set expectations for students for standards of work done before they move on, then have task cards handy for them to work on once they are done with their regular work. Task cards could be kept in a math station, in a Things to Do When You’re Done station, or in the personal workspace of students who often need them. 

Partner work

Have students work on the same task card independently. When they are done, have them compare answers. If they did not have the same response, have them check their work. Students can explain to each other how they solved the problem or completed the task.
