Subtraction Worksheets Used to Play Treasure Chest Match

October 5, 2017 By Deirdre

This is day four of the Pirate Printables. I have been sharing a new set of printables every day this week. Today’s set of subtraction worksheets can be used play Treasure Chest Match.

There are two different versions of treasure chest match. Let me share them with you.

Getting the Subtraction Worksheets

If you click onTreasure Chest Match Up, you can download your free copy of the subtraction worksheets need to play treasure chest match up. Once you have printed out the subtraction worksheets. You can cut out the subtraction flashcards and the treasure chest number cards.

Playing Treasure Chest Match

Equation to Answer

You can have your children layout all of the treasure chests in rows on a table or the floor and place the subtraction flashcards in a pile. Next, they will take one subtraction flash card from the pile at a time. Then, they will look at the treasure chest number cards on the table to find the answer for that subtraction fact. Finally, they will place the subtraction fact on the treasure chest card with the answer.

As the play this game, there will be fewer and fewer treasure chest that don’t have subtraction fact match on them. This will make easier for your children to find the final matches.

Memory

Your children will take all of the number cards and all of the subtraction cards and place them upside down on a table or the floor. Then they will turn over two cards at the time. Children are looking for a subtraction card and a treasure chest card with the number that answers that number fact on the subtraction card. If they get a match, they can pick up those cards and put them in a pile. The game is over when they have found all of the matches.

Here are the other pirate printables I have shared this week:

R Controlled Vowel Worksheets

Long Vowel Worksheets

ARRR You Ready to Work on Long Vowel Sounds Worksheets

October 3, 2017 By Deirdre

Welcome to Day 2 of Pirate Printables! Yesterday I shared a set of r controlled vowel printable activities. Today I have a set of four long vowel sound pages. Each of the pages invites children to circle the words with a certain long vowel sound. Then they have to graph the words with each letter combination.

Long Vowel Sounds Worksheets

This set of long vowel sounds worksheets features words with the long a, e, i and o. Later in the week, I will share a long u activity.

Getting Started

Before your children get started with the Long Vowel Pirate Pages, you will need to print them out.

Exploring the Long Vowel Worksheet

Your children will be asked to circle on the words with the long vowel sound featured on that worksheet. If you want them to, they can circle them with a gold crayon or colored pencil. The yellow circles will look like gold coins. Most of the sentences have two or three words for your children to circle.

Next, they will write the words they circle in the table above the vowel combination featured in each column. Your children will find more of some combinations than others in the sentences.

Finally, you can ask them which letter combination or combinations ended up with the most words. If you want them to fill each column all the way to the top.

If you want them to fill each column all the way to the top. You can have them come up with their own words that fit each vowel combination. They can write their words in the empty boxes or cells in each column.

R Controlled Vowels Printable Activities Set

October 2, 2017 By Deirdre

R Controlled vowels can be hard for students to say. Many don’t master sounds that the controlled vowels make until the end of second grade. Children with speech issues made need to keep working on them even longer. My son has had trouble with them for a long time. It is for that reason I decided to start pirate printables week with a set of activities focused on r controlled vowels. Another reason is that pirates love to say, “Arrr!”

Getting Started with the R Controlled Vowels Printable Set

Before you get started you will need to print out the R Controlled Vowels Word Sort Activities. You will only need a pencil to complete the first activity. The second activity has two pages of words filled r controlled vowels that will need to be cut out.

Word Sort Column Page

The first worksheet contains five columns and a word bank. Each of the columns features one of the five major vowels along with the letter r. Your children will need to decide which of the columns each of the words in the word bank needs to go into.

Since this printable is to help children work on r controlled vowels, they should be encouraged to say each word as they write it in the column. When they are finished, you may want them to say each r controlled vowel sound and then each of the words on their list.

Words Sort Card Activity

The second activity has a work mat and cards with words that have r-controlled vowels in them. Your children will need to read each word card. Then they will need to place the word in the box on the work mat that features that vowel sound.

Just as with the first activity your children should be encouraged to read each of the words as they place it in the box. Then they should read each of the words in each pile.
