Alright, up first… math centers!
My summer math centers have students build upon their addition and subtraction skills…as well as time! With addition this year we focused a lot solely on combinations of 10! We felt these were the facts kids needed to be solid on before first grade!
Fishin’ Up Clocks: It seems like time is becoming this thing of the past!? It’s sad because telling time is a LIFE SKILL. This activity is fun and easy enough for primary learners to still be successful with it. There is also a corresponding paper/pencil task for students to follow up with.
Buggy Subtraction: Clip It! In this activity students will solve the subtraction problem and “clip” the correct answer give.
Sunny New Words: This activity works on students manipulating sounds within words! This is a skill I feel is key to work on this time of the year. The kids are discovering their ability to now only read a words, write words, but also to make new words!
I admit that I am not the biggest fan of write the room, but I thought I could try something new since it IS May! 🙂 This adorable write the room is summer/beach themed!
Standardized measurement is something that went away after my first year of teaching. I understand it is a difficult concept, but it is a life skill right?! This math center, Measure up the Beach, gives students items from the ocean/beach. They will use their snap cube stick to measure each and record their answers!
This is another center that meets my kiddos’ need right now! We have now covered addition and subtraction. They did really well and have a basic understanding of both concepts. However, I noticed that they did not always check over their answers, 2-1=2…“Well you had 2 apples and I took one apple, how could you still have 2 left if I took one away?” So, in this activity students will have to decide if the card is TRUE or FALSE! I included addition and subtraction. You could also choose to mix the two- -ahhh tricky!
