Activities
ActivTable includes a wealth of educational activities for learners ages
4 - 11, many of which are linked to core and national standards and
some with multiple activity options.
Most activities are designed for younger learners and are
focused on pre-K through Grade 2, although there are
some activities for Science and Social studies aimed at
upper elementary and middle school students.
A section entitled Life Skills has been designed
specifically for high school special education students.
At the sub-folder level within Life Skills we are adding
more activities designed for students with special
educational needs. In addition, there are some generic
activities and templates that may be applied to many
curriculum areas and grades.
We recognize that in the majority of cases the ActivTable
will not be used to teach and achieve Common Core,
State Standards or National Curriculum, but more to
reinforce the children’s learning of those standards.
However, where pertinent, we have identified both the grade and the standards where the activity has been
designed to compliment.
Over 230 activities are supplied with the ActivTable and additional activities can be downloaded for no charge from
the ActivTable Activity Store.
We encourage teachers to visit www.ActivTable.com to learn more about how they can use the ActivTable Activity
Builder to create and customize their own ActivTable activities based on existing themed templates and starter activities.

Activities - SPECIAL EDUCATION - LIFE SKILLS
SPECIAL EDUCATION - LIFE SKILLS
This section of Activtable activities is focused on students with special needs. Clearly many of these activities may
be used right across age ranges and curricula. In the same way many of the other activities in the other curricular
categories may also be used with special needs children of all ages.
Life skills are essential for everyone, and they must be included in instruction for students with special needs. These
students possess the potential to live and work in the community if they receive appropriate life skills instruction. A life
skills curriculum approach blends academic, daily living, personal/social, and occupational skills into integrated lessons
designed to help students learn to function independently in society.
What are Life Skills?
Life skills include a wide range of knowledge and skill interactions believed to be essential for adult independent living.
Many students with handicaps and special needs require education and support to learn these necessary behaviors. For
example, they must be able to dress and groom properly, use appropriate table manners, make decisions about money,
and use transportation to get to work. Many of these areas can be addressed using collaborative ActivTable touch
technology with activities focused on both daily living and personal/social skills.

ADDITION WITHIN 20
Students practice addition within 20 to sequence a set of sums.
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and
subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6
= 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 =
13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction
(e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent
but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent
6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).

REKENREK ACTIVITIES
ABOUT THE REKENREK
Each rekenrek row is made of five red beads and five white beads. This allows
students to make mental images of numbers. Using 5 and 10 as anchors for
counting, adding and subtracting is obviously more efficient than one-byone counting. This tool provides learners with the visual models they need
to discover number relationships and develop a variety of addition and
subtraction strategies, including doubles plus or minus one, making tens, and
compensation, thereby leading to automaticity of basic facts.
REKENREK BUS
This Activity is applying the concept of a Rekenrek, but using an analogy of a
double-decker bus.
It is designed for 4 users or 4 teams of 2. Each team/user has its own rekenrek
which is “dressed up” as a bus. Question cards drift around the “lazy river”.
Questions are revealed on a touch-flip. Those numbers are drawn at random
from 1 to 20 and may repeat. If numbers repeat then the teams need to
collaborate to ensure they show the sphere distribution is different from others
showing the same number. In this activity the bus seating is used only to model
the answers.
REKENREK NUMBERS - 2 ACTIVITIES
2 Activities: 1-10; 1-20. This activity is designed for 4 users or 4 teams of 2.
Each team/user has its own rekenrek. Question cards drift around the “lazy
river”. Questions are revealed on a touch-flip. The cards are designed to host
the small red and white spheres. The spheres are placed on to the cards to
represent methods of showing the number total displayed on the right hand
side of each card. Those numbers are drawn at random from 1 to 10 (20) and
may repeat. If numbers repeat then the teams need to collaborate to ensure
they show the sphere distribution is different from others showing the same
number. In this activity the rekenreks are used only to model the answers.
Once complete, the card may be dropped into the blue basket.
LARGE REKENREK
This Activity is simply a large demonstration Rekenrek and is offered to teachers to
devise their own activities.
