We have some high school athletes that come every Friday to open up car doors for car riders and then come play math games with our 1st and 3rd graders. Our focus this year is going to be on fluency. What are some easy to understand and play fluency games that you like to do with your students?

I love this site that goes along with the book Math Fact Fluency by Jennifer Bay-Williams and Gina Kling: https://kcm.nku.edu/mathfactfluency/. There are great games with PDFs here.

Last year, I had a bulletin board up outside my door with questions for each grade level. Since moving rooms, I don't have as much room outside my door so I was looking for some ideas on how I can engage students. I was thinking of doing some of these boards with questions. I love the idea of them proving me wrong -- that was the premise of what I did last year too. Have you used something like this before? Any suggestions or tips? (It probably goes without saying, but I will say it anyway, this is not my photo.)

A new (to me anyway!) site that I recently learned about is Youcubed! I have linked specifically the tasks section of this website because there are so many great ideas here for engaging students in real world math experiences. It appears to be for K through 12th grade, which is awesome! (https://www.youcubed.org/tasks/)

Any other amazing math task websites I need to check out that maybe I haven't?

How would you plan a lesson for a standard on teaching 1st graders about identifying coins by name and value?
