My favorite way to learn is with math centers that seem like games! One of my favorite centers in this pack is the Place Value Roll because it can be used over and over again with all different numbers which provides A LOT of practice!Īssessment is key to differentiating. It will help you not miss those little holes in their foundation which will help them (and you!) all year. Pull them back to your teacher table for a little mini-lesson during math centers if they circled "Hard" for a concept. When you train your students to truly assess their understanding, it will work wonders!! THEY will know what they need help on and you'll be able to quickly see how they feel about a concept. Encourage them to really think about it - hard doesn't mean it took a long time, hard means they had to think hard to solve things. One way I do this, if you look at the 2 pictures above, is the bottom of every worksheet has a little self-reflection for students to circle if they thought that worksheet was easy, just right, or hard. because some kids will learn certain concepts really fast and other concepts really slow and you need to change your small groups accordingly. to change your groups, the level of worksheets you give them, the level of centers you give them, etc. I recommend assessing the levels of your kids ALL. All the concepts have 3 levels of worksheets - A, B, and C - so all students can feel successful and learn without frustration - this supports your struggling students, provides practice for your on-level kids, and challenges the ones who typically "get it" right away. That's one thing I love about the math units I've been making is they are completely differentiated. Not every kiddo is going to get it that day or even that week so you have to meet them at their level with every worksheet and activity. One thing that I think is SO important, though, is differentiation with math. I know, I know, I'm a nerd but I really do love math! I think it can be really fun if you do it right. Your child will have fun learning essential reading and math skills through exploration! Your membership fee ensures that we can continue to provide Classic Starfall free of charge and offer low-cost, high-quality, educational resources to classrooms.Okay, so anyway, back to teacher-y stuff! I know it's not really the time of year for place value at all but I am way too excited to share some things from my place value unit with you! I started making my First Grade Math Units last year starting at Unit 7 then I made 8, 9, 3, 5, 1, and 2 so I just may go out of order sharing them as well :)įirst up for me to blog about iiiiiiis Place Value! Our low-cost membership program expands the free content you already enjoy to include delightfully animated songs, mathematics, and reading activities spanning pre-k to 2nd grade.
