We started working with Math Centers in the classroom two weeks ago. The munchkins are loving them! Math Centers provide an opportunity for students to practice and apply skills and strategies taught in the classroom. While students are engaged in purposeful centers, I have the opportunity to work individually or with small, flexible groups to meet the individual needs of students.
Why do I incorporate Math Centers in my classroom?
- They are an integral part of daily instruction for all children.
- They provide meaningful, independent practice based on curriculum objectives and students’ needs.
- They include a variety of activities differentiated to meet the needs of students.
- They change regularly according to the needs of students.
- They hold students accountable for the work in which they are engaged.
- They allow teachers to assess students’ math skills, strategies and understandings.
- The munchkins love them and are having fun while they practice Math!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week-end everybody!
