  • When students can skip-count by 5s, counting nickels is so much easier. This deck gives students the opportunity to practice both skills. There are 3 types of questions: multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and drag the nickels into the sandcastle. Boom Cards are perfect for online or in the class learning. Incorporate them into your math centres, or use them as whole instruction. No Prep, Self-Grading.
  • Skip counting is more fun when you are doing it with money! This deck gives students the opportunity to count by 10s with Canadian dimes. There is a similar deck with US dimes available. Boom Cards require no prep and are self-grading. These digital task cards are great for home learning, remote learning, or online learning. Use them as part of your money unit or math centres.

  • Do your students always ask, "What do I need?" right after you've given instructions? These supply cards have worked in my grade one class for years! After some initial modelling, I no longer tell students what supplies they need to take out of their desks. I just put these supplies cards onto the whiteboard and students take out their supplies! Some prep required to print, laminate and adhere magnetic strips to the back.
