Have you heard of Boom Cards? They are self-grading flash cards and are perfect for distance learning, sub plans, checks for understanding, snow days, home learning or centers. For kids, they just feel like they are playing games, but they are actually covering important learning targets. The best part? You can make your own Boom decks for your students as well!
For the past two years, I made it a goal to make a Boom Card deck for every math standard in first grade. In addition to engaging images, the decks all have audio directions for those students who aren’t reading yet. They are colorful, fun and engaging. Although, the best part is they are standards-aligned!
Try out a Boom deck that is aligned to what you are working on in math right now:
- Addition & Subtraction Word Problems within 20 (1.OA.A.1)
