Math Centers
The new system for math and literacy centers is working so great! I'm really loving having 8 groups! For math centers, the children choose where they want to go in the room - all have made really great choices this week! I don't mind if they work on the floor, at a counter, or at a table, as long as they are getting their work done! I keep the math centers in those 3 drawer sterlite drawers - I just call the kids by groups and give them their drawers. The literacy centers are placed at different places throughout the room. During literacy center time, the kids go to those spots. (Since some have pocket charts, they need to be at a specific spot!)
Here is a picture of the rotation chart:
The numbers are for the math center drawers, and the letters for literacy centers.
This is how the centers look for literacy centers - there is a matching sign on the wall (or in this case the easel) and on the basket. I think this has helped the kids know exactly where they need to be. Phew!
Here are the math centers we did this week, and will continue to do next week:
Halloween eraser graph - I found the dracula and cat erasers at the Target Dollar Spot, I had the pumpkin erasers (but I saw them at target this year), and I used plastic spiders. I put them in a bucket and let the kids take a hand full.
Spider addition: the kids rolled the dice, counted that many spiders and put them on the first web, they did the same thing for the second web and counted how many they had all together.
This cute clip art is from DJ Inkers -- love the monsters! The kids measured them with unifix cubes and links.
This idea came from Mailbox Magazine - the kids throw the ghost in the air and color the side that the ghost lands on. When one side is full, they stop and compare with their partner.
The children practiced writing their numbers to 30, and then counted the little lima bean ghosts into the pumpkins.
Patterning with Halloween stamps. (From Target last year)
Adding with cat playing cards (from Target last year)
Teen number sequencing

These are great math centers and so easy to pull together from Target. Thank you for posting them!
ReplyDeletewill you share your printables? You are very creative and talented. Your time is invaluable! Christy.inglis@sendit.nodak.edu
ReplyDeleteI am loving your rotation chart! I will be borrowing this idea from you! Do you have one drawer per center for math? I love this idea too, and what a space saver!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have one drawer per center - I have 3 of the small 3-drawer containers stacked on top of each other. Sometimes the supplies are too big to go in the drawer, but I just put them on top. The kids are getting really good at putting them back in the right order too! The rotation chart is working great so far! I have the centers on velcro and just change them at the end of the day. I pinned the kids' names next to it. I didn't want to do velcro since some groups have 2 and some have 3 kids - easier to rotate without loooking messy! I can send you the PDF for the chart if you send me an e-mail.
ReplyDeleteCan you send me the pdf? Jennbrown8@gmail.com Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if you could send me copies of any the math worksheets. I love these ideas for my Kindergartners. It is my first year teaching and looking for many ideas. My class would enjoy these. I am going shopping for these erasers.
