Dice Games

Dice Activities for Subtraction  I have been thinking about next year and the TON of games I   
  should be making, but then I thought I would check out some of
  the teacher stores in town. I found this great resource! After I  
  went to their webpage I found they let you download some of the games for free and there are other great books like this one. There are about 30 games with the game boards made and ready to use. There is a Addition book, Multiplication book, and a Division book. I am glad I found these, so I won't have to make as many games for my AVMR small group instruction.

OPMD

Have you thought about the processes needed to create the best mathematics discussions? I have found the book that is the answer... 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions (OPMD) by Margaret S. Smith and Mary Kay Stein.
