Addition Math Centers

Hey Everyone!!  I’ve been hoping to post for a few weeks but y’all I have been so tired after school!!  Since I work at a year round school today was DAY 21!!  I can’t believe it. 

We start math with a Daily Word Problem of the Day!!  I purchased this back during the Back to School sale and it has made my life so easy!!

 

Next we do our daily lesson.  As soon as each child finishes they head over and start their math center.  This allows me to be free to help any child that needs a little extra support.

We have been doing some easy back to school math centers for the last few weeks.  This week we started using my Back to School Addition Centers!!  My students LOVE math centers. 

 

Here are some pictures from this week:

Apple Adding - Match the apples and add.  

 

 

 

 

Apples Away - Find ways to make 3, 4, and 5

 

 

Lunch Box Parts - Find the missing part

 

 

 

Backpack Match-Up

 

Here is a closer look at this Addition Pack.

Back to School Math Centers

I’m so excited to start Math Tubs again in my classroom!!  You can read about how I do math here!  I’m hoping to pretty much follow this set up again this year!!

I'll be starting with some of the activities I posted about in the above post during the first week.  But after the first week I plan to use the activities in my Back to School Math Pack!!  Here is a sneak peak of some of these activities:

Build a Tens Frame

Students will be given an amount on a tens frame, they will add counters to build a ten. This will help students determine the multiple ways to create the number 10. This includes 11 ten frames, counters, and a recording sheet.

   

Part, Part Whole

Students will determine the other part of a number to create a whole. Three sets of cards, counters, and a recording sheet.  Sorry I don't havea picture of the recording sheet, my printer ran out of ink!!

 

There is also a Set 3 so you can do this activity for several weeks or allow students to use different sets at the same time.  This helps elimate wondering eyes! :)

Who has more?

Students will compare a math problem and an answer to determine who has more. I included to separate recording sheets, counters, number cards, and a mat.  Again you can use this for two weeks or use both sheets at the same time.  I'm so excited about this activity!! 

I included a few more activities in the pack too but I ran out of ink so I can't print them right now!!  If you are interested in the items listed in this post you can purchase the packet here!  It's on sale today!!

We’re really cooking! Frontload Friday!

Today I introduced a few of our centers for next week!  I’m so excited for some of our food themed centers.  First we practiced building compound words with pancakes. This activity can be found in my Pancake Fun pack.  (Note to self: I should have left these pancakes as a square or used them on the floor.  They keep rolling in the pocket chart. ) But the students still enjoyed building the compound words!

 

 

Next, we also learned about the –ie, -igh sound with my phonics activity Just Right Pie.

 

FYI - I do know there are two pies but I had trouble coming up with -ie words.  So I went ahead and put it in twice.  This usually helps me see if they are reading the words. :)

Today in math we did an activity from my Fun with Food Math Pack.  For this activity the students choose a food item and have to draw the coins they would need to buy that food item.  They LOVED this activity.  It was fun to see them generate different ways to make the same amount. 

 

 

The day was cut sure due to a tornado watch and we released an hour early.  I was pretty excited to be able to come home early on a FRIDAY!  Hope you ALL have a GREAT weekend!

ValenTIME and a Hook on a Brook

This week was a week of LOVE!!  Everything we did had a Valentine theme!!  I wish I would have taken more pictures of everything but here are some pictures of our math centers:

   

Sweet Time Sorting – Concept of Time

The students read each heart card and decided: 
Will it take 2 seconds? 2 minutes? or 2 hours?

 

Read the Hall Time – Time to the Half-hour

The students looked at the analog clocks and wrote the digital time on their paper.

  

Love of a LifeTIME- Time to the Half-hour

The students drew hands on the clock to match the digital time on each heart.

 

Memory Match Time – Time to the Half-Hour

The students maked the digital and analog clocks.

 

Measuring Candy Hearts – Nonstandard Unit

The students estimated and measured each line with large and small candy hearts.

You can find all of the Time to the Half-hour Centers in my ValenTIME Unit of TPTHERE!

You can find the Concept of Time activity FREE on TPT HERE!

On Fridays I introduce next week’s Phonics Skill to get a little head start on ALL of the teaching that happens on Mondays.  Here is a look at our Word Work Center:

 

Hookin the Brook -- /oo/ Word Work

The students will sort each fish and decide if it has the /oo/ sound like in hook and if it doesn't have the /oo/ sound they will put it back in the water.

We learned that sometimes the oo says /oo/ like in Hook in the Brook.  We talked about how it almost sounds like someone hits you in the belly.
