Math Centers ~ Balancing Equations & iPads!!!!

We got a new math curriculum this year and it is challenging ~ and yet ~ the kids are doing superb!!  I love that we are implementing math centers this year so that kids can have the opportunity to work on these skills in a small group setting every day.  They can also get help from their friends when necessary!  Here is Jett working at the "M" Making Meaning center.  He is doing a balancing equations activity! 





Reid is working at the "I" Independent center.  He is doing a cut and paste balancing equations activity.  

Kyler and Annabelle are working at the "M" (Making Meaning) center.  They are playing a game where you spin and add 3 numbers.  This photo was taken on a different day. 


Silas is at the "T" Technology center and it appears he is playing Prodigy math on this day!  They love to sit in this little scoop rockers!
Reid was all alone at centers for a few days because both of his center partners were home sick!  He is at my teacher table and we were working on the lesson for the day.


Cailyn finished her center work and is working on her math facts by playing with the Hot Dots pen and fact cards!


Ava is at the "spin and add 3 numbers" center. 

Reid and Caleb are at my teacher table completing the new lesson for the day!



Lillianna, Mason, and Cailyn are balancing equations!


Cailyn and Lillianna are practicing math facts with the Hot Dots!  This is an activity the kids can do when they complete their center work early.
These kiddos below are working together to complete a center.

Jett is at the Technology center working away at a math game!


Lillianna and Mason are finishing up their "I" center.





Annabelle, Kyler, and Ava are working at the "M" center together. 




Murphy and Silas are balancing equations!



This group finished their center before time was up and they are playing games together on the carpet.  It appears there's only 28 seconds left on the board!


Annabelle and Kyler are finishing up adding 3 numbers!

Silas and Jett are playing a Lego addition game together.  This is another fast finisher game that the kids can pull out and play when they complete their centers before the timer goes off!




Murphy is working on the XTra Math app!








Annabelle, Kyler, and Ava are playing the Lego math game together!



Lilli and Cailyn are working hard at my teacher table!

Mason is working on number bonds!

Jett is showing me how well he is doing on his math game!


There's a sneak peek into a couple of different days of math centers!  We are going to be learning about pumpkins next week and making catapults!  Hopefully, I can remember to take some photos and videos of all of that fun!!!!  I am really enjoying this sweet group of kids!
