Let’s dive into Center activities that are for Grouchy Ladybug Activities and Centers. So let’s do it and allow me to show you our math centers for the week. We used the book The Grouchy Ladybug as our inspiration this week. You won’t want to miss these the grouchy ladybug printables.
Grounch Ladybug Time for Yellow Table
Since the book, The Grouchy Ladybug has clocked 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. 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. What an example of fun Grouchy Ladybug Activities and Centers.
Making Sets of Ten for Orange Table
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. And here is another set of cards at this same center, but with the ladybug images.
Subtraction Grouchy Ladybug at Red Table
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.
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 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.
Writing Numbers to 50 at Purple Table
The purple table was fun for our students to write numbers up to 50 on it. And boy are my little ones getting neater and faster. Check out these differentiated mats.
The top writing numbers mat was harder and more open-ended. The mat on the bottom was more of a tracing mat, for those who are struggling more with number writing and formation.
Ladybug Addition Matching Activity at Blue Table
The blue table was tougher because I made about 50 addition problems on these ladybug notepads, 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 at a table at a time, so all 4 students could work together.
Ladybug Addition Matching Activity at Green Table
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.
