Tomorrow makes day #10 with students. Can you believe it??
I must say that it has been an AWESOME beginning to the school year. My students are already back in the routine of things, pretesting is behind us, and we already have centers going...
SCREECH!!! PUT THE BRAKES ON!!!!
Yes, you heard me; centers are already going smoothly. This is in big part to my NO PREP math centers.
You can find 10 NO-PREP centers for each grade level.
I even made a sampler packet so that you can try one from each grade level for FREE!
Simply print the instructions on colored copy paper, and hang it up in the center. Students can read the directions to find out exactly what to do.
Print the cards on white or bright copy paper. Cut out and tape around the room. All cutting is straight lines to make the prep work fast and easy. I always have a couple of very helpful students who do the cutting for me.
Students go on a back-to-school treasure hunt to find the questions and solve them.
Print the directions for each center and cards on different colors of copy paper to make them stand out and be more appealing. Of course, you can always just print on white copy paper.
Students can work individually, with partners, or in small groups to order the three-digit numbers on the lunch bags in order from the greatest number to the least number.
They then write the numbers on their individual response sheets in order by following the arrows.
The sample 4th grade center has students looking for the 0 in the different place values while coloring the space to match the key.
Making the beginning of the school year easy is just...
