Your Fridays on Fire! Free Math Scavenger Hunt

3-5· All Freebies· PK-2

Friday afternoons – irritable kids, irritable teacher. 😉 We need fun, engaging, fire-it-up math activities. We need something different from “sitting and getting”. We need activities that will flip that feeling of “I need the weekend” – or at least make us forget that it’s Friday afternoon for a while.

Mondays are usually fairly quiet days. But Fridays? We all seem to need something a little special to keep us learning and motivated.

So-o-o, I created these get-up-and-move {free} solve the room task cards with a twist!

They are super fun because the “twist” is that they work as a math scavenger hunt! And since they raise the motivation and are great for review and practice, they are ideal for any time – but especially long Friday afternoons.

Many activities that are active and motivating require a lot of preparation time on our part. Not these free math scavenger hunts! The preparation is quick and easy! Just print (laminate if you want). Then post the task cards around the room. Or, since students will not be sitting at their desks, you can place the cards directly on top of students’ empty desks.

HOW THE MATH SCAVENGER HUNTS WORK

  • Students can start at any task card. (The solution to their last problem will be on the problem they answered first so that they go in a complete circle!) They can work independently, with a partner, or with a group.
  • They read and solve the problem on that task card.
  • Then they search for their solution on all the other task cards.
  • They move to the task card with their solution and solve the new problem on that task card.
  • Students continue this process until all problems are solved.

For all the details including how to use the solve the room task cards in centers, go to the original blog post. Download your Free Scavenger Hunts and have a resource that will add sizzle to your Friday afternoons! You can find it all here!
