Stepping Up Student Engagement - Number Sense Part 1

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by to catch up on what's happening in my classroom right now with number sense! I love math. I think because I love math, my students love math. Funny how that works, right? Today I'm sharing a couple things we've been doing to boost student engagement and make learning number FUN!

1. Counting Pizzas


I've done fraction pizzas. I've eaten a lot of pizza. Now we made counting pizzas! Students each got their own pizza that I laminated and placed inside of a personal pizza box.

Students started by following their menu and counting the correct number of toppings.


They then got a blank menu. Each student had to put their own toppings on, then write how many they had on their pizza.


The pizza shop music and chef hats were the icing on the cake (or maybe the cheese on the pizza)!
To make the chef hats I just used white sentence strips and tissue paper!

      

The music was just an instrumental version of That's Amore from YouTube:
