I have math centers.
By april atkins

I do math centers 4 days a week in my classroom. I have 8 centers that are in tubs so it is easy storage. Each day the children visit 2 centers and my math table. I started doing math centers because this year we adopted
a horrible math book. Math had become HARD and BORING for the students and ME! I spent a good 2 weeks teaching how to do the centers and all the procedures. That is key!!!!!!! My centers are very easy to set up and maintain. My centers are computers, addition, subtraction, time, problem of the day and Bingo, money, Skill review with Facts of Life game and one that rotates activities. I was

write math stories at first now it is a Telling Time board game because we are on Telling Time Unit. It doesn't take much up keep at all! My kids tell me all the time "Thank you for making math fun." Not to mention I am enjoying teaching math again!
