Newspaper Math

Here is a fun activity for students to complete while practicing math skills.  The students must find 5 decimal numbers in the newspaper then use the numbers to complete a series of math questions about decimal place value.  I hope you enjoy the activity!  My kids loved it so much that we are doing it again :)

  4. Thank you for sharing. That is a really creative idea. I recently posted pics of my 3D worksheets and Shopping for the Author's Purpose. I always try to find creative ways to teach.
