I’ve been having so much fun with the Cookie Sheet Challenge! For those of you just joining me, I set a goal to see how many fun activities I can make using cookie sheets purchased at Walmart and a can of metal spray paint. The challenge is to make as many activities as I can until I run out of paint. So far I’ve painted 6 cookie sheets–that means 6 different activities– and barely made a dent in the can of paint. I’m going to be quite busy with this project for some time.
Cookie Sheet Activities Volume 2 activities are activities targeting early math skills. All activities allow for differentiation can be used during small group instruction or as activities within your math centers. The first activity is number order. There are five templates for number order 1-10, 4 templates for number order 1-20 and 5 templates for number order 1-100. Magnetic numbers are used for number order templates 1-10. I purchase the letters used for CSC Volume 1 and the numbers for CSC Volume 2 online through Banks School Supply. I’m pretty picky about the shapes of the letters and numbers and I like these the best, but magnet numbers purchased at a dollar store would work just fine.

The next activity targets basic number concepts. For this activity, you will need manipulatives for counting. I use small erasers which I purchase through Oriental Trading since they have seasonal themes and erasers which target student interests such as sports-themed erasers. I then purchase magnetic business cards

The next activity targets the skills of identifying the numbers before/after, numeral-number word matching, counting using 10-frames and using tallies to represent numbers. Popsicle sticks

You are so creative. I’ve been trying to come up with cookie sheet center ideas and these top anything I’ve thought of so far. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for leaving a comment, Barb. I’m having a lot of fun thinking of activities for the cookie sheets.
Thank you for sharing. I will be working with remedial math groups next year and this would be a good activity for some of my kiddos.
Thanks!

i really like your cookie sheet challenges but i can never get the whole download to work for volume 1 or 2. i was wondering if there is any way you can help.
I came across these and your blog today on pinterest..I love these thank you so much for posting them! I am now a follower!!
I’m not quite understanding this. Why do you need to spray paint the cookie pans?
You absolutely do not need to paint the cookie sheets. I did just to make them cute and color coordinated. Certainly personal preference.
Love these cookie sheet centers. Do you have a little harder set for first graders?
Working my way up in the grades… Volume three has activities for sight words (building sight words and sight word sentences). This volume would be appropriate for first grade. I’ll be working on CVCC/CCVC activities soon. Thanks. Julie
Using centers for math for the first time this year. All of your things will come in handy. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow! I have decided to retire after 32 1/2 years in Kindergarten but have had fun looking for and making new things for the first year teacher taking my place after Thanksgiving. She is going to be so excited! Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
