REWIND!- Win Win Win tri-FACTa Math Game from Learning Resources!

I'm not going to lie.  I've been back from my vacay for two days... I am *so* going to tell you all about it because we did two things in Wisconsin that you MUST do... but that will be later this weekend.

Yesterday I wasn't feeling too hot... we were supposed to have a mini-Michigan teacher meet up, but almost everyone's schedules filled up at the last minute and then I didn't feel good, so it's on hold for now... be on the look out for a rescheduled meeting soon!  And today's the first day I can get into my classroom and this...


just got taken to school and needs to be put away!  I can't WAIT to get in there and get to work!!!

So, you get another REWIND today...

I was so thrilled when my friends at Learning Resources generously allowed me to choose some of their new for 2013 products to review this summer!  I chose three and will be doing one a month until they are gone.

The best news is that, once you read my opinion, you can enter to win one for yourself!  Yay!

This month, I am reviewing tri-FACTa Multiplication & Division game...
I LOVE this game!  It works a little like Scrabble as kids are building fact families.  I love teaching with fact families and the deep understanding of math concepts kids get when they understand the relationships between operations... so this was right up my alley!  The goal is to use all of your tiles to win.  So, there is a 24, 6, and 4 on the board in the example photo and the tray out in front has a wild, 9, 12, 2, 28, and 7 card.  That student would lay out the 28 at the top and then cover the 6 with the 7 because 7 x 4 = 28.

As a former 2nd grade teacher, I would have loved using this game for enrichment in my math workstations.  And, as a 3rd grade teacher, this will be perfect for practice and intervention for students who need extra support!

I love how much mental math kids will need to do in order to search for fact families and they will love that it is a fun game!  Our 3rd graders struggled with their multiplication and division facts this year, so I am so excited to have this game to start practicing with early.  I know my students will love it!

You can win one too...

Just enter with Rafflecopter below!  The giveaway runs through the 21st, so you have lots of time to spread the word!
