Math Station Tips

·

I am linking up with my sweet friend, Marsha at A Differentiated Kindergarten to share a little about my math stations.

Here is a quick picture to show you how I have organized my math stations in the past:
The cart was actually re-purposed from holding an overhead projector (yes, I not only had one…but I still do in storage)…the boxes are cheapos from Dollar Store that are made to sit on top of each other- (but they wouldn’t have to)… the numbers are those peel and stick bulletin board letter/numbers- 
easy, enough =)
I like it because I can change the tubs out easily…it rolls around in case I need to move it for convenience and they are easy to put up and take off for the kids.  I have things like geo boards, dominoes, and unifix cubes in them…dice games and recording sheets…pattern blocks, shapes and pattern pages.  Fact family activities were the last item I added.  Each pair of kids gets a new number bin each week…I haven’t been able to do math stations every day, regular like I should…so the kids only have that bin maybe 2-3 times that week…and then they go to the next number the following week. (if that makes sense =)
Here are some of the packs I have created for my math stations!

My kids LOVE GeoBoards and having these recording and task cards give them a purpose.

Perfect for the beginning of the year nonsense word fluency is this station:

  1. Jennifer,
    I purchased your "Geoboard It" unit and have already printed the cards and cut them out. I am very excited to add it to my "math games" table during my math rotations. I just know the kiddos are going to love it! Thanks so much!

  2. OH MY WORD! I LOVE the geoboard unit! I teach pre-k and we use them to make shapes as a whole group. Then they become a free choice center and it is a HOT mess! They just fill the board with rubber bands. I love the idea of using geo boards for 5 year olds because they are building fine motor when manipulating the rubber bands. These task card are PERFECT! Thank you so much!
