I hope you guys are ready for a few math center ideas
we used this week as we learned about insects.
The yellow table held our graphing center.
I made this simple graph sheet for some insect erasers.
And to tell you the truth,
I am not loving this graphing sheet that I made about 9 years ago.
So I stopped the presses
and made you guys a freebie insect graphing sheet to use next year.
You can grab it here completely free…
with a colored version and a black and white version.
Just remember it doesn’t include the actual erasers.
The red table was the location of our writing numbers to 50 mats.
There are themed for the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
We also worked on number sense…
always working on number sense.
{Does it feel that way to you!?}
This station, at the purple table, was also caterpillar themed with fruit ten frame cards.
We picked a card, then colored in the matching ten frame on our answer sheet.
After counting the amount, we wrote the number in the box provided.
The blue table contained these blue butterfly subtraction problems.
One of the ways I make sure my students KNOW addition and subtraction
is to CONSTANTLY given them both types of equations to solve.
To make this,
I just took a boring subtraction worksheet and cut it apart.
I put one problem on each butterfly, which are just accent pieces.
Then I laminated the butterflies.
It is so simple and we use it over and over again.
Green table was used for our Very Hungry ten frame missing added problems.
This was a huge hit in making sets of ten.
After working with making tens all week,
we are getting faster and faster at math facts.
Post of the activities above came from this pack,
which can be found here.
