Jellybean Math: K-4th grade - Place Value, Graphing, Problem Solving, Fractions

This resource includes 31 pages and 10 differentiated and engaging activities. All the activities/pages in this resource are standards based. You can use this in spring around Easter (however, it isn’t not Easter related), or ANY time in the year in which you want to review graphing, place value, problem solving, equations/computation, and fractions. This product can be used as stations OR whole group activities.

*If you would like to use real jellybeans for this activity, GO FOR IT! (We all know that kiddos seem to be more apt to learn when food is involved!) However, with the rules today about food in the classroom, I have provided jellybean templates as well.

Jellybean templates:

1. 30 colored jellybeans that match the colors of the jellybeans in the activity.

2. 30 blank jellybeans to have your students color in the beans the color of teacher’s choice.

3. 60 blank jellybeans for group use.

4. A page that has (2) spinners on it to laminate and have students use to spin and color the beans before the activity.

The three different levels are a part of the bar graph. There is a colored version with blank labels, 2 different levels of difficulties of the other bar graph versions.

*There is also a frequency and dot plot page.

*Jellybean Problem Solving: This part of the resource is higher-level. It has to do with finding the product of jellybeans. Putting jellybeans in greatest to least order and creating a word problem of his/her own. A page with specific colors is provided as well as a page that has blanks for the colors.

-There is a page with questions that are labeled with specific colors.
