Make Learning Fun with Math Crafts

Are you looking for a fun and creative way for your students to practice those oh-so important math facts? Do you have some students working on basic addition while others are ready for 2 digit subtraction? Do you want an engaging, seasonal activity for your students? Monthly Math Crafts to the rescue!

As a teacher, I love these math crafts for many reasons. Fine motor skills are so important, and kids still need to cut and glue and practice spacial reasoning. I also love that I can give my students something fun that they enjoy while practicing math skills on their level. For my 2nd graders, I usually have 3 differentiation options available with each craft. Sometimes I assign the level that I want them to complete, and sometimes I let the kids choose the level they want to work on. I’d say 90% choose exactly what they need. For those that choose something too easy, I encourage them to choose a different level and go for a challenge!

 All of my monthly math crafts include at least 3 craft options and 16 differentiation options. They make the perfect seasonal math bulletin board! You can click the images below to see each month in my TPT store.

The 16 differentiation options include 2 levels of addition and subtraction facts to 18, 2 digit addition and subtraction without regrouping, 2 and 3 digit addition and subtraction with regrouping, 3 levels or multiplication, and 3 levels of division. You can also get the Bonus Differentiation Bundle for even more options!

BUYER FEEDBACK

• I absolutely loved this resource. My students were so excited and motivated to make these. I hung the bats and pumpkins in my classroom and I received so many comments from parents during my conferences about how adorable they were! Thank you for making a quality, creative and academically appropriate resource, that allowed me to add a bit of whimsy and fun to my classroom, while meeting my curriculum standards!

• These are some of my favorite math activities! I love being able to put my own math problems into the circles. They look great hanging up in the room or hall, they don’t take much time to complete and my students LOVE them!!! Thank you!!

• I love these so much! My kiddos love crafts and this gives them a little more meat and makes it meaningful. It’s also great addition and subtraction practice for my kiddos. Thank you!!

• It can be hard to find things that are cute but aren’t too easy or too complicated for upper grades, but this is PERFECT. You can differentiate seven ways to Sunday and it always turns out cute.

• Love this resource. Well worth the money. I teach K-3 grade special ed. It was great to have 1 resource that would allow every one of my students to do the same task with different levels. Thanks!

• Best thing I bought on Teachers Pay Teachers! The students love these! They aren’t huge artists but the coloring option, cutting and gluing is right up their ally. I use these are review which keeps kids motivated. I love the blank template which allows me to create more difficult problems.
