I had so many compliments on my last math mat, I thought I would create a St. Patricks Day one for you. Hopefully I created enough columns this time. According to Wikipedia there are eight different marshmallow charms in a box of Lucky Charms. Wal-Mart sells an off brand in a big ole bag. I might just buy that and baggie it up for each student.

When I was young, I would spend hours looking for four leaf clovers in the yard. I thought it would be fun to hide some around the room for the kids to find. Then let them write the multiple and factors of each number. I may put a four find limit on students. That way each student should end up with about four each. They could always pair up if they didnt find enough. If you teach younger students, I made an even/odd T-chart sort for them. Click {HERE} or on the picture for your free copy.
Let me know what you think of these activities. If you have any other ideas or ways for me to improve these, I would love to hear about them. Good luck as you continue to create magic in your classroom!
