Center Saturday

 Hi sweet friends.
We are almost done with school here in GA.
In fact we have 15 days left or 3 weeks of school.
What does that mean?
This is one of the last 
 for this school year.
So let’s to it and allow me to show you our math centers for the week
while we learned about insects.
We used the book The Grouchy Ladybug 
http://www.amazon.com/Eric-Carle-The-Grouchy-Ladybug/dp/B00N4E8LX2/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=sharinkinder-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=PLBUGK4ITH6VVBZQ&creativeASIN=B00N4E8LX2
as a learning tool this week. 
My yellow table was our time center.
Since the book, The Grouchy Ladybug, has clocks in it, 
we used this Write the Room activity.
There are two similar record sheets. 
One sheet has the minute hand on it and the second sheet does not.
http://www.amazon.com/Eric-Carle-The-Grouchy-Ladybug/dp/B00N4E8LX2/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=sharinkinder-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=PLBUGK4ITH6VVBZQ&creativeASIN=B00N4E8LX2
My students look at the letter on the leaf on the card. 
They see that clock and write it in the matching letter card spot on the sheet.

They write the matching time on their sheet and write in the time.
The orange table hosted our making sets of 10s using these ten frames. 
I made several sets of matching cards, 
but with different animals for sorting and management.
Here is one set of cards that use the skunk.
http://www.amazon.com/Eric-Carle-The-Grouchy-Ladybug/dp/B00N4E8LX2/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=sharinkinder-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=PLBUGK4ITH6VVBZQ&creativeASIN=B00N4E8LX2
And here is another set of cards at this same center, 
but with the ladybug images.
http://www.amazon.com/Eric-Carle-The-Grouchy-Ladybug/dp/B00N4E8LX2/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=sharinkinder-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=PLBUGK4ITH6VVBZQ&creativeASIN=B00N4E8LX2
The red table was home to our subtraction cards, 
which are also Grouchy Ladybug themed.
These cards contain a lead with ladybugs,
 and a partial math problem on it with a
___ -(number to take away) =
 on it. 
http://www.amazon.com/Eric-Carle-The-Grouchy-Ladybug/dp/B00N4E8LX2/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=sharinkinder-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=PLBUGK4ITH6VVBZQ&creativeASIN=B00N4E8LX2
My students have to count the number of ladybugs on the leaf 
and write that number on the first blank.
Then they take away the number the cards tell them to 
and find the solution or answer. 
This table has the ladybug cards and these egg cards.
Both are the same but with different images.

 Some of my little ones do not need to cross off to solve the problem,
while others do.

The purple table was fun for our students to write numbers to 50 on it.

And boy are my little ones getting neater and faster.
Check out these differentiated mats.

The blue table was tougher…
http://www.amazon.com/Eric-Carle-The-Grouchy-Ladybug/dp/B00N4E8LX2/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=sharinkinder-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=PLBUGK4ITH6VVBZQ&creativeASIN=B00N4E8LX2
because I made about 50 addition problems on these ladybug notepad, 
then cut off the heads.
I put all of them in the blue basket and had my students make the ladybug whole again.
There are 4 friends a table at a time, 
so all 4 students could work together.
The last center was green and it was the hardest station.
This was one step closer to mixing addition and subtraction.
Check out these cards.

We had to make an addition sentence
 and a subtraction sentence using the ten frame picture on the page.

Here is the pack I used for most of these math stations this week.
