Math Fun With Seuss and His Cat in the Hat

1-2-3 Come Do "Sum" Seuss Math Activities With Me

I'm sure most of us use Dr. Seuss for lots of reading and writing activities, but you can also toss in some math as well.  Here's how...

"I see, he sees, we see, she sees, they see, everyone sees the number ___________." Says the Cat in the Hat. Try saying that tongue-twisting, pronoun-filled sentence fast!  It's an interesting way to introduce this quick, easy and fun Seuss-hat worksheet, which covers a variety of math standards.

To create higher numbers for older students, add more dice.

(The numbers go from 0-120!)

Interest remains high, even though you can use the worksheet for an entire week or all of March, because the number changes daily.

They can get right down to business, without waiting for directions, which is a real time saver for teachers too.

For students, there's a smaller version, with two-on-a-page, to conserve paper. 

The beauty of this worksheet, is that you can use it for any number.  Younger students can work on numbers less than 10, older students can work with two and three-digit numbers. The worksheet is also an easy way to whole-group assess.

The Cat Hat Math Mat packet also includes a helpful Cat in the Hat bookmark with math symbols.

For more practice, have students write one or two sentences on the back of their worksheet, using that number.

Even though I'm happy to see the record-breaking-cold February gone, I still have lots of Seuss-themed activities on my "To Do" list. 

Hopefully, there are other teachers and homeschoolers that celebrate Seuss for the entire month, or at least a week, as I'll be posting a few more goodies!

    Math Games Are "Snow" Much Fun!

    A fun way for students to practice addition and subtraction is with Dominic the Domino Snowman.

    Students roll a pair of dice and then add and subtract.  Children write out the equations and complete the work on a separate sheet of paper.

    To make this even more interesting, students use dominoes for Dominic's buttons, finding matching ones that correspond with the dice combinations they rolled. 

    You can play with real dominoes, or run off my templates to make paper ones.

    Run off, color and laminate a class set of the snowman templates and use dry erase markers, or have students color their own snowman and record their work on a separate sheet of paper.
