Math Centers

This group was using the "Storyboards" to create a story with the unifix cubes and tell their study buddy what they were pretending their cubes were. One student said that she was pretending the cubes were horses and she had "4 baby horses and 1 momma horse in the corral."

At another center we used pattern blocks to fill in a shape...

These students were practicing sorting at their center...

This group worked together to put this number puzzle together...

This group was using color tiles, I saw lots of great things happening here. Some students were sorting some were building and some made designs with their color tiles.

Stackers

We started a new math game today called "stackers". One partner was the "architect" and the other partner was the "builder". The architect had to look at the picture card and give directions to the builder on how to stack the cubes to make the structure on the picture card. (The builder can not see the picture card, only the architect can) we were focusing on using positional vocabulary like next to, on top of, to the right, to the left, beside, behind, etc.

Here is the architects view...






Here you can see the board that the builder has to stack the cubes on...
