 Putting It Together
1. First you will need to find some cans. How many depends on how you are going to use
this resource. If you would like a few groups at a time to be able to use this during Math
Centers, you will need 2-4 cans. If you want to have it available as an independent
activity, you may want to make 5-6.

**I recommend regular sized tennis ball cans or “Pringles” potato chip cans. Don’t have any? Try
sending out an email to the other teachers at your school. You may be surprised at the response you
get! 

2. Based on the size can you have chosen, pick the cover size that fits best (two sizes
are included). Wrap the cover around the can, gluing it down as you go. You may want
to laminate the cover first for a long lasting resource, and secure it to the can with clear
packing tape (this seems to work best).

3. Print the cards. There are two sets of cards to choose from. The first set is multiple
choice, and the second set is short answer. You can choose to use only one type of
question, or mix the two types for more variety. You also have the option of using QR
codes for students to check their answers. (Note: be sure to use only one of each card
number if you choose to mix the types of questions.)

**For a long lasting resource, you will want to laminate the cards, or print them on cardstock!

4. Put the cut-out cards into the can, and put the lid on! That’s it! You now have a great
new resource for your classroom!
See “Using this Resource” for ideas of how you can use this with your students!

 Using This Resource
As a group math center/activity
Place this “I Can” game out as one of your math centers. In groups of 2 or more,
students can play this game against one another by seeing who can collect the most
cards. To collect a card, students must answer the question correctly. If they check
their answer and it is incorrect, another player can attempt to answer the question
correctly and keep the card for themselves. If a student pulls an “I Can” card, they can
add this to their pile of cards as a bonus, and pull another card to solve.

As an independent center/activity
Students will pull a card from the can and solve it. They should record their answers on
the “My Answers” sheet. When they are finished, they can check their answers using the
answer key. It is a good idea to offer a reward/incentive for completing the set of cards,
and/or mastering a certain percentage.

As a progress monitoring tool

When students complete this activity independently, have them keep track of their
progress using the “Checklist” provided (or you can use the checklist and check their
work yourself). You can then use this checklist to see if the student has mastered the
focus skill. You can also use this information to help you determine if, and in what area,
further instruction is needed.

Other Uses
o Project problems on the screen and
play with the whole class.
o Review for a Unit Test
o Review for State Tests
