Looking for a way to add a little leprechaun fun into your upcoming math lessons? Deanna over at Mrs. Jump's Class put together a few ideas you will definitely want to check out!

Fair Shares Book

The fair shares idea is a great way to get your kiddos to work on dividing equally, a skill that many little ones struggle with. Have your students draw a 'rainbow card' and then count out that many pieces of 'gold' (Deanna recommends Corn Pops for the gold, but anything yellow would do the trick!). Then, have them divide the gold to see if it can be done equally and record their findings.
