Math Centers

This has got to be most of their favorite part of the day. They absolutely enjoy math centers. When we started math centers some of them struggled with the idea of doing it on their own. As we have progressed over the last 2 months they have become more and more independent!! I am so proud of them. The math centers you will see below we're from our pumpkin exploration week. There is more to come.

Teacher led-they created their own pumpkin glyph with a little help from Ms. Murray

Student Led- they measured pumpkin width and length. They used cubes to measure how tall the pumpkin was and use links to measure the width of the pumpkin. They also counted how many seams were around the pumpkin. The counting part was easy, it was hard for them to remember where they started because all of the lines looked alike.

Computer- some created their own jack-o-lantern and some carved their own pumpkin online. Very neat!!

Desk-They had to match the ten frame sets inside the pumpkin to the actual number. They did an absolutely amazing job!

Teacher led- We learned about graphing/sorting. We had to sort the pumpkins by big or small, then we  put them on our graph by the size, also. After we were done we had a discussion about which size pumpkins had the most on the graph and how did we know! Very interesting! I love the way they think!

We finished our pumpkin filled weeks off by cooking a pumpkin snack! This recipe had a tie when it came to whether it was yummy or gross!
