If you are busy prepping for next year I have a great set of math centers to get your kids working on those number sense skills. All 20 centers have themes that can be used year round so you don't have to switch them out every week! Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of what's included and how this set is organized.
First up there is a teacher info sheet and an "I Can" student sheet for every center.
Next up, the centers each have 2-3 differentiation options. These may be different sets of cards, game boards, dice, response sets etc. I find this SUPER important so all kids in my class can get the most out of each center. Not every child is working at the same level, but with these centers you don't have to think about having separate centers for students above or below grade level.
Lastly, there are math talk cards to help prompt students to talk about their learning, and rotation cards to post as a visual for your math block.

DeleteWould like to use with my kids1
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great packet! Thanks for putting it on Win It Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking it out, good luck!
DeleteThese look great!! I love to teach patterns, addition, and shapes!!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Geometry is so fun to teach in K!
DeleteI love that there's no language barrier in math. 1+1=2 in any language! I teach Deaf/Hard of Hearing kids and their language barrier is by far what keeps them below grade level. Most of them work on grade level for math because numbers are numbers and not English :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I never thought of it that way, but it's so true!
DeleteI love finding ways to diversify my math stations...that's what I love the most about teaching math! AND seeing the light bulbs go on in children's minds!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love having students at different levels work together too! I find they grow so much helping each other learn new concepts :)
DeleteMy favorite thing about teaching math is watching my special ed kiddos grow in math skills during the 3 years I have them (Grade 1A, Grade 1B, & Grade 2).
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome you get to work with them for 3 years, I am sure that they develop such a close relationship with you too :)
DeleteI love teaching our calendar routine and watching as the kids take over!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you let your kids run the calendar. It's so cool to watch them shine!
DeleteI love teaching number stories and boardmath!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear more about how you teach number stories and board math.
DeleteLooks like a great packet
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by to take a look :)
DeleteWhat a great product. I love math because the kids get it and are so surprised!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad to hear you love math so much because I think it can get a bad wrap but it is one of my favorite things to teach too :)
DeleteI love that no matter what language the students speak, they can still understand math. For Kinder, I love when the students understand when to correctly use the different strategies they have learned.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true, I never thought about how great the lack of language barrier can be in math.
DeleteMy favorite thing is having the students think out side the box to solve a problem.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE hearing the way my students solve problems especially when I get them to realize that there is not always one right way or one right answer to every problem.
DeleteI like using manipulatives to make abstract concepts more concrete.
