We always like when we have time for "workplaces" at the end of our regular math lesson. Workplaces are games and activities that give us chances to practice all sorts of math skills. Some are partner games, while others are individual activities. Students rotate through all the activities over time, and sometimes even have time to revisit a workplace. I am always changing out old activities and putting in new ones. You may see some workplace logs coming home eventually, where students have kept track of which activities they have completed.
One of our current activities involves estimating and measuring with Unifix cubes. One has students making a graph and practicing identifying nickels and pennies. One has students practicing adding ten and more and writing equations in proper form. Several current activities feature dominoes and have students practicing various addition strategies to add up the dots.
