SweetKimberli7910:00pm via TweetChatthis is my first time on Tweetchat. Is there a fast way to respond to people or do you just need to write their username? #TeachChat
KirstieJorgense10:00pm via TweetChat@DonnaMGroves Just come up with whatever problems you want them to do. They put the tiles on their desk just like wrtg. answers #TeachChat
 vmontgomery4810:00pm via webReallyGoodStuff Thank you again for an enjoyable night I always learn something new and exciting. GM #TeachChat
ReallyGoodStuff9:59pm via TweetChat@vmontgomery48 You’re going to be an amazing teacher! =) #TeachChat
jacobiswifey9:59pm via TweetChat@DonnaMGroves The floor tiles are to make number tiles…use to count, sort, manipulate however needed! #TeachChat
N_na29:59pm via Twitter for iPad“@ReallyGoodStuff ”More on top-no need to stop. More on the floor-go next door. Borrow one 10, thats 10 ones more.” #TeachChat”
ReallyGoodStuff9:58pm via TweetChatYou win! Congratulations! =) RT @karenanddan: floor tiles for sorting #TeachChat
vmontgomery489:58pm via web@ReallyGoodStuff I am not a teacher yet so everything that was said tonight I will take to the classroom when I get one #TeachChat
KirstieJorgense9:57pm via TweetChat(Example: sides on 4 squares, 3×3, how much is a quarter worth?) They would put down 16, 9, 25… (Using tiles) #TeachChat
ReallyGoodStuff9:57pm via TweetChatQ6, our last for tonight: What was the most exciting tip you learned tonight that you’ll take back to the classroom? A5 wins #TeachChat
 TeacherCast9:57pm via TweetChatRT @AHenrey: Overhead projector sheets make great “white boards” or “lamination” for things you don’t want ruined. #teachchat
AHenrey9:57pm via TweetChatBeing “green”: lamination is really bad for the environment but then again so is making tons of copies, at least it’s recyclable #teachchat
SweetKimberli799:57pm via TweetChat#rebeckstar75 it is. I will have to check. They are double the price in staples #TeachChat
jacobiswifey9:56pm via TweetChat@SweetKimberli79 Office Depot is great about that, aren’t they?! They regularly send school-year-valid coupons to the school! #TeachChat
DonnaMGroves9:56pm via TweetChatI just bought page protectors and I am making a Jeopardy board game that magnets to the chalk board #teachchat
KirstieJorgense9:56pm via TweetChatI do mental math. Decide what the answers will be. They have to put answers in order going down. They can only use tiles once. #TeachChat
awilder609:56pm via TweetChatYes, staples laminates…not your normal laminating a little heavier, much more durable #TeachChat
rebeckstar759:55pm via TweetChat@SweetKimberli79 if its an 81/2 x 11 laminator you can get sheets even cheaper at Sams if you, or someone you know, has membershi #TeachChat
SweetKimberli799:55pm via TweetChatOffice Depot does too and they offer a lot of coupons for teachers through their star teacher program#TeachChat
AHenrey9:55pm via TweetChatSame goes for sheet protectors. Put all papers you want to be used repeatedly in them and they last a while. #teachchat
ReallyGoodStuff9:55pm via TweetChatRT @AHenrey: Overhead projector sheets make great “white boards” or “lamination” for things you dont want ruined. #TeachChat
jacobiswifey9:55pm via TweetChat@DonnaMGroves RT @KirstieJorgense: You can buy 1″ floor tiles at Lowes and use a sharpie to put#s on them. (0-9) #TeachChat
AHenrey9:54pm via TweetChatOverhead projector sheets make great “white boards” or “lamination” for things you don’t want ruined. #teachchat
nicenluvli9:54pm via TweetChatI love using file folder games for counting, sorting, skip counting…. #teachchat
SweetKimberli799:54pm via TweetChatgot a great small laminator at BJs for like $30 and the film is $6 for 50 sheets #TeachChat
ReallyGoodStuff9:54pm via TweetChat@DonnaMGroves Clear contact paper works…not quite as strong, but it works. #TeachChat
jacobiswifey9:53pm via TweetChat@KirstieJorgense Inheritance items items are the best! But thanks for the idea- such a great one to check out! #TeachChat
lorileaarcher9:53pm via TweetChat@ReallyGoodStuff The tatle teacher uses tile samples for sight word flashcards. #TeachChat
ReallyGoodStuff9:53pm via TweetChat=( RT @DonnaMGroves: I want to make tons of file folder games but my school ran out of lamination film and they will not buy more #TeachChat
KirstieJorgense9:53pm via TweetChat@jacobiswifey Mine were inherited, but I think they are pretty inexpensive (compared to other teacher items) #TeachChat
DonnaMGroves9:53pm via TweetChatI want to make tons of file folder games but my school ran out of lamination film and they will not buy more #teachchat
ReallyGoodStuff9:52pm via TweetChatThat would be great for sorting/grouping! RT @KirstieJorgense You can buy 1″ floor tiles at Lowes&use a sharpie to put #s on them #TeachChat
jacobiswifey9:52pm via TweetChat@awilder60 Yeah…took a couple years (and a coworker owning a set) to figure that out too but I’ve loved them every time since! #TeachChat
rebeckstar759:52pm via TweetChat@pamamom I got lots cheap at Target last year after the holidays that were mini cards w/animals, Dora and some other fun stuff. #TeachChat
N_na29:52pm via Twitter for iPadDice are fun for the children they like to roll and see what’s next @ReallyGoodStuff #TeachChat
lorileaarcher9:52pm via TweetChat@SweetKimberli79 I have seen them in a catolague I get but they are not cheap. #TeachChat
jacobiswifey9:51pm via TweetChat@KirstieJorgense That’s a great idea. Is it expensive for the tiles? #TeachChat
DonnaMGroves9:51pm via TweetChatMy dice are about 1 and 1/4 of an inch sq. and they are solid hard dice in great colors. I use them to play skunk #teachchat
ReallyGoodStuff9:51pm via TweetChat@nicenluvli I love file folder games! My kids adore them! #TeachChat
lorileaarcher9:51pm via TweetChat@DonnaMGroves The dollar store is great for school stoff. I got craft rocks there and the kids loved sorting them. #TeachChat
SweetKimberli799:51pm via TweetChatwhere can you get hundred charts that you can manipulate? #lorileaarcher #TeachChat
KirstieJorgense9:51pm via TweetChatYou can buy 1″ floor tiles at Lowe’s and use a sharpie to put #s on them. (0-9) #TeachChat
 pamamom9:51pm via TweetChatI wish the playing cards could be more colorful though..and made just for kids #TeachChat
rebeckstar759:51pm via TweetChatplaying cards. Mostly to do addition&multiplication. Kids each put one out and then solve-quickest wins cards like in War #TeachChat
ReallyGoodStuff9:51pm via TweetChatThose are FUN! RT @DonnaMGroves: I bought large dice at the dollar store #TeachChat
nicenluvli9:50pm via TweetChatwould love to have more counters, and MORE file folder games! Use smart board a lot but kids also need to hands-on manipulatives. #teachchat
lorileaarcher9:50pm via TweetChatI would love number triles or the hundreds board you can manipulate. #TeachChat
KirstieJorgense9:49pm via TweetChatA data projector would be nice. We use number tiles often. #TeachChat
jacobiswifey9:49pm via TweetChatI can always use more counters…Always borrowing from coworkers! Definitely use the smartboard as a daily “manipulative!” #TeachChat
nicenluvli9:49pm via TweetChatunifix cubes, dice, bear counters….love them all, use them all! #teachchat
ReallyGoodStuff9:48pm via TweetChatGr8 idea!RT @DonnaMGroves beads from the old car seat covers!I have beads to a broken carseat cover&I use them for lots of things #TeachChat
ReallyGoodStuff9:47pm via TweetChatWhat’s one math manipulative that you wish you had? What’s one that you use in almost every lesson? #TeachChat
DonnaMGroves9:47pm via TweetChatbeads from the old car seat covers!!! I have the beads to a broken carseat cover I and I use them for lots of things! #teachchat
jacobiswifey9:47pm via TweetChat@lorileaarcher I bet that’s an easy connection for them to make, right? What a great idea! #TeachChat
ReallyGoodStuff9:46pm via TweetChatNoodles work well 2 RT @karenanddan another thing i learned to do was make counting beads…theyre like a personal abacus #TeachChat
lorileaarcher9:46pm via TweetChatWe put numbers together (adding) and take numbers apart (subtraction) just like we dol when we ware learning to make words. #TeachChat
lorileaarcher9:45pm via TweetChatI tach addition and subtraction together and it really seems to help. #TeachChat
ReallyGoodStuff9:45pm via TweetChatBrilliant! RT @KirstieJorgense: “More on top-no need to stop. More on the floor-go next door. Borrow one 10, thats 10 ones more.” #TeachChat
DonnaMGroves9:45pm via TweetChatYou can make a number line with sentence strips and index cards or string and index cards#teachchat
jacobiswifey9:45pm via TweetChat@rebeckstar75 Third graders are always “borrowing” so it seems to connect with them well!  #TeachChat
lorileaarcher9:44pm via TweetChat@DonnaMGroves that is a great way to included patterns in math problems. #TeachChat
KirstieJorgense9:44pm via TweetChat“More on top-no need to stop. More on the floor-go next door. Borrow one 10, that’s 10 ones more.”#TeachChat
ReallyGoodStuff9:44pm via TweetChatCan you share it with us? RT @KirstieJorgense: I have a rhyme. #TeachChat
