Monday Math Centers

Before I get to our centers for this week, I am just heartbroken by the Boston Marathon attacks today :(!  My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved!  It is such an accomplishment to get to run in that race and so sad that it ended this way.

This week's math centers have us reviewing money!  Some of these activities are from my Money Mania pack!

I gave my kiddos the option to match the coins on the piggy bank, match the correct the amount by using just the number, or BOTH- find the coins and the matching amount!

I created this for my centers this week and added it to my pack right away!  We used a skinny paint brush and a paperclip to make the spinner.  My kiddos spun the spinner, identified the coin, and graphed it!  It took a few tries to get the spinner part down, but they were loving this center!

 My kiddos matched the coin, amount, and name with these cards.  For a little more of a challenge, they flipped them up and played like memory!

This is NOT in my pack!  I found these fun puzzles!  Last year my kiddos cut them out and played with them but this year I laminated a few and put them in these centers!  

I got these little containers from CVS and was going to use them for dice so they wouldn't go flying, but never ended up doing that.  So I put coins in each box and had my kiddos pick a container, count, and graph what was inside!  It was perfect because each box is different so they could graph up to 4 times if they are fast workers!  This graph I am giving to you for free!  Enjoy!  Click here to grab it!

Money Match Freebie

Today we had our Junior Achievement day!  If you haven't done this at your school you should!  It was great!  A volunteer came in for the morning to read stories and do activities my kiddos.  A lot of the topics were about money!  One of the activities they got to use money stickers!  I was going crazy over them when I saw them!  I was so happy when our volunteer gave me the extras!

We had that in the morning and a rehearsal in the afternoon for our Black History Celebration on Friday!  Let's just say we only did math and Daily 5 before our day was done!  Since I don't have amazing teacher ideas today, I whipped up a freebie for you! :)  It is a St. Patty's Day themed money matching worksheet pack!  Click on the picture! :)

A Day Off

 I hope everyone had a great day off!  I did!  I was pretty productive in between my reality tv watching!  I spent some of my day doing this...

Lots and lots of laminating was done!  I love my laminator but it is slow, so it was nice to have time to get stuff laminated!  Unfortunately, I forgot my sight word love monster cards at school, so I will be busy another day! These cards can be found in my Love Monster Pack!  I also finished my Money Mania pack!

Alright, I better do something productive around the house before the hubby gets home!  What did you accomplish today!?
