An idea for your math centers.. <br /><br />I used math centers last year, and REALLY loved how I was able to work with students in small groups to ensure understanding. These were the centers I used:<br /><br />1. Homework Club: I would provide the students with the answers to last night's homework and they would grade each other's papers. I also encouraged them to use this as an opportunity to ask each other questions about previous assignments. <br /><br />2. "Skillz": I would print a list of quick, calculation problems related to whatever topic we were currently on (ex: solve for x in the following equations) and they would just individually work on the problems. This allowed them to get that quick skill practice, which we don't normally spend much time on in class. You could even do something like Math 24 cards.<br /><br />3. Small Group: This was the center that I would be at. I would choose different word problems related to our current topic and at different levels of difficulty so that I could easily adapt the material to meet student needs. We would work through the problems together, and since there were only 4-5 students in the group, it really allowed me to give more personalized support. <br /><br />4. Computer group: We used an amazing online program called Mathletics in this group. Students could use any kind of online resource at this station though, it's easily adaptable. Khan Academy would also be great! <br /><br />I absolutely loved these centers, we would try to do them every Friday. It gave me the opportunity to meet with every student! I would even sometimes change the specific centers and then just divide the classtime by how many centers I had and set a timer.

I'm wondering what math text you...Hi Sherrie, <br /><br />I'm wondering what math text you use with your middle school students and what methods you use to hold them accountable for doing their warm up on a daily basis. I have resorted to having students record their warm ups on a single sheet of paper for an entire week and then collecting them on Fridays in order to give points for their participation. Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
