M is for Mathematical Monday {Math Centers}

First, I want to THANK all of our nation's Veterans on this holiday.  I want to give a BIG "THANK YOU" to my hubby who has made many sacrifices for our country.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.

John 15:13

This week we used a variety of math center so review skills.  I like to keep a spiral review emphasis in my math instruction to ensure students have mastery of a skill.  Here are a few of the centers we used this week.

PLACE VALUE WAR

For Number Sense students used a deck of cards to create a number, they flipped over 5 cards.  Students then compared their numbers to determine who had the greatest number.  The student with the largest number one that round of war.

MULTIPLICATION FACTS

For 4.OA.1 students used multiplication flash cards to play a game.  One team member chose a card from the deck, everyone solved it on their white boards, and those who answered correctly moved up one space on the game board.

THANKSGIVING TASK CARDS

Students practiced solving word problems with these Thanksgiving themed task cards.

SPIN TO WIN

Students played "Spin to Win" to practice using the area model of multiplication for multiplying two-digit by one digit.
