Two posts in the same week--I'm even surprising myself! Just wanted to get another thing posted before my presentation at Frog Street Summer Splash next weekend. Where in the world has the summer gone??!!
Anyhoo, I LOVE the Shake N Share game that I first found when perusing through the awesome math games created by Shari Sloane. She does have some really great ones, by the way. I love using the small water bottles and the tiny dice for mine. The kids love this game so much, so I wanted to find a way to differentiate so they can play it more often in math stations. Sometimes I use it as a "have to" station, and sometimes I use it as a "get to" that they may do once they have completed the other station in their tub. (I have now moved to true "partner games during my math workshop block, so only two students are at a station at a time. Each tub has two activities--the "get to" and the "have to".)
I have several recording sheets so that you can differentiate when using this station. First is just number recognition. There are also recording sheets for 2-digit addition, 3-digit addition, and subtraction. Just be sure that when the students subtract that they always write the bigger number first.
Here are a few pics of a few of the bottles that I will be giving away as DOOR PRIZES at Splash--I especially like the little "test tube" ones. They are actually from Frog Street's catalog, but they are also available from Steve Spangler.

Hope to see you in San Antonio next weekend!
