Extension Opportunities

Fluency Sprints:

● Sprint 1

● Sprint 2 *You get 60 seconds to complete as many as possible. Use the same sprint several times during the week to see your growth!

Fluency Games and Challenges:

❖ Close Enough ➢ Spin the spinner and decide if that amount will represent ones, tens, or hundreds. Record the

number on your recording sheet (or a piece of paper). You have 6 spins to get the sum as close to 1,000 as you can. And be careful...it’s without going over!

❖ Would you Rather ➢ Put your problem solving and place value skills to the test to determine which set you would rather

have! Justify your thinking. You can share your answer with a family member, too.

❖ Make a Ten Path

➢ Use the Make-10 Strategy to solve the addition problems as you move along the gameboard. If you don’t have dice, you can use this Online Die . Tell a parent or partner how you made a ten to solve the addition problem. Will your path be the fastest to the finish?

Summer Learning: Unplugged  

Sidewalk Chalk Talk: Grab some sidewalk chalk and enjoy the following activities!

Okay pirates, now it’s your turn to hide the treasure! Where would the perfect, secret location be? Once you have made your decision, grab your chalk and draw a treasure map to help you remember where you hid it. You might want to add some trickery to the map to confuse others searching for your treasure.

Head outside and draw this Open Middle Problem , taking turns to solve. The winner is the one who comes up with the most solutions!

Scavenger Hunts: Do you have what it takes to track down your reading and math target?

Let’s hunt vowel sounds through your house, yard, or anywhere you’d like to safely explore.

Pick either short or long vowel sounds and challenge someone to see who can record more on their list. Find items that have your chosen vowel sound. For example: mat has the short /a/ sound, rake has long /a/.

Team Long or Team Short? Who will win??

Select a 3-digit number. Now think of two different 3-digit numbers that would make your number as their sum. For example: 484 = 180 + 304. Now apply your scavenger skills! Use books, clocks, addresses...anything you can safely investigate to find all 3 of your numbers from the equation above! Now try again with a new number.
