Winter 1st Grade Math Centers

Description

Your 1st grade students will be engaged throughout the winter season with these 27 winter math centers covering all first grade math standards (some standards have even more than one center!) These hands-on activities will allow your students to solidify their understanding of first grade skills and strategies.

**This set of winter centers does not include any Christmas themed activities so you will be able to use these centers well past December!**

Every single math center includes a recording form so that you are able to introduce accountability into the centers.

Great instruction is just the start of a students’ mastery of standards. First graders need time to practice and hone their new skills! This set of winter themed math centers are designed to address all first grade standards. Is spring the time when all of these standards are traditionally taught? Of course not ! I have included all standards so that you have the opportunity for both review of previous concepts as well as differentiation for students who are ready to explore new ideas.

Start with the table of contents, this is your road map to the skills practiced within each standard. For each math center you will find a student friendly instruction page, all center materials and a recording form.

For no-fuss storage, consider storing the recording forms in numbered folders with the student instructions taped or glued just inside. Tuck these folders into a crate. For many of the centers, the materials are flat and will also fit into these folders. For centers with additional manipulatives, place numbered pencil boxes nearby with needed materials!

Included You Will Find

• A table of contents outlining which activity matches each standard or skill.
• A printable page of instructions to store with each math center. **Print Friendly Tip** These can be printed 2 to a page, the text is large enough that they will still read well at 1/2 size.
• All hands on materials/cards you will need for each center. Occasionally, you will need to supply a very common math material such as linking cubes.
• A recording form for EVERY SINGLE MATH CENTER. If you have students who like to get silly during center time, these recording forms will change the landscape of your math block!

What do YOU do while your students are in centers? If you are remediating and working with any tier 2 or tier 3 students, check out these very detailed math intervention lessons as well!
