Math Centers

As we finish up our unit on sorting and patterning, the students participated in 4 activity centers to practice everything they have learned.  

They made patterns grow...

They sorted on their own using two attributes!  They made up their own ideas and 

labelled their sorting circles.

'I have squares in one circle, yellow stuff in the other, and yellow squares in the middle.'

'This is blue stuff, this is squares.  In the middle is blue squares...it has both.'

'I got it!'

'It starts with 2 blocks on the bottom, then 3, then 4...'

'I think the shape changes and the colour too!'

'I had to make a pink circle for the middle...it had to be pink and a circle.'

'It's easy...look...first you add one more block to each side,

then you add two, then three...it just keeps going...'

'...you keep this part and add two blocks each time...'

'...I made the colour change, it's blue, red, blue, red...the shape changes too.'

Since this is the first unit and it's a short one, there will not be a formal written test.  

The students have clearly demonstrated their knowledge over the past three weeks

in the classroom.  They will have a written quiz that will be sent home for you to see this week.
