Math Centers

Here's a little glimpse of your kids working in small groups during Math today. They needed to be up and moving (Thank goodness the rain finally disappeared!) so I decided to have a few activities spread around the room for them to rotate and explore. It worked out so well! The kids had a blast and didn't even realize all the learning and practice that was involved! It was so neat to walk around to each group and listen to them sharing and working together. The kids are learning some great social skills!

Center 1 - SORTING: The children used task cards to sort buttons by size, shape, thickness or color.

Center 2 - PATTERNS: The children used books and task cards to complete patterns and build their own using unifex cubes.

Center 3 - GEOMETRIC SHAPES: The children had task cards to follow. They used attributes blocks to build things out of shapes. (owl, sports car, bird, butterfly, just to name a few)

Center 4 - COUNTING WITH A 100 CHART: We have a big one we use for Calendar each morning, but this time each child had their own. Using task cards that told them the directions, the kids counted by 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s. Their favorite was counting all the way to 100!

Center 5 - MEMORY: What a great game that involves taking turns and working together - all while using those memory skills. A skill needed to learn all their math facts!
