Math Work Places

We have been implementing a new structure for our math time.  After calendar students are introduced to a new concept or review of a math objective.  This is generally done through a hands on, interactive game or activity.  Students then have a choice of playing that particular game or doing an activity that was introduced the previous day(s).  Students are expected to spend time in each center at least once during the week.  I try to introduce a new work center each day.

Here are a few math work centers that were available today.

Rainbow Writing Numbers



Roll, Count, and Draw a Gingerbread Man

Creating Squares for a Class Quilt

We began Math today by observing the growing gingerbread stair pattern we created and singing, "10 Little Gingerbread Men."
