I am super excited to be paired up with Lori from Owl in a Vowel Tree! She is super sweet so make sure you follow her blog! I am thrilled to be reviewing her iSnoop Triple Addition Math Station and her iSnoop Triple Subtraction Math Station. My kids have LOVED this activity during our math station time this week. Maybe it is because it involves a magnifying glass! If you are looking for some fun, engaging math stations, these are perfect! 

During math stations this week I used these during my small group time. Since this product is super fun but involves a magnifying glass, I wanted to use it with them first instead of independently so we could talk about how to use the magnifying glass properly. Here is how it works…You use a hand lens or magnifying glass (I’ve had mine for a few years but you can get them at the dollar store) and your students become a decretive and snoop for the math problems on the paper. The font on the paper is tiny so they use the magnifying class to hunt for the problems. Talk about engaging!!! Then they fill out the problem on their answer sheet to work them out. 

When we first started I gave my students the options of blue or purple. The blue work mat is addition and the purple work mat is subtraction. I knew if I gave them the option of addition or subtraction they would all pick addition. Here are some “action” shots of my kiddo’s detective skills! 




I had never seen them so excited about addition and subtraction before, especially with regrouping, much less three digits!! I loved hearing them say “I found K! I found K! They were engaged the entire time they were working and it was a fantastic site to see! 






When working with regrouping, I hadn’t spent too much time on three digits yet because I wanted to make sure all of my students had mastered the concept. I didn’t have to help any of my kids hardly at all! As I sat there watching them, they were saying their strategies to themselves and knocked them all out of the park! I was one happy teacher!
