Photo Albums for Math Review is a Bright Idea!

I’ve seen this idea used over the years, but was reminded of it on Pinterest a while back {here}… how smart is it to use flash cards in a bragbook with a dry erase marker to review facts?  So smart!
I got the brag books from Target and Walmart =)  This idea would also work with handwriting flashcards, or ?? The sky is the limit!

    Are you using an eraser to erase them? That's pretty smart too! And kids love those big erasers.. they will surely do any activity just to play with them!

    I do this for word work but I've never used it for math facts. Thanks girl! How do you get your cute white frame around your pictures. Is it an app? Precious

    How smart! I love that they can work on the flashcards independently, AND it keeps all the cards together! (hate those little boxes the flashcards come in!) Thanks for the bright idea, Jennifer!

    This is such an awesome idea! I love the flashcards in the photo album! This is a great idea for center or for something to work on after seatwork is finished. It keeps all the flashcards neat and together!

    The flashcards will keep the addition and subtraction fluently going with the children. They will be able to consistently use the cards throughout the year as long as they are left in centers, math tubs, whole groups, small groups, and work with a partner. There are so many ways they can be used. Such a great hands on activity!
