During our last day of summer class, Karen, Amy and I accomplished quite a bit for our project. We researched, collected, and prepared the majority of our math centers for October. This work consisted of printing and copying materials, laminating them, and organizing them into a binder system. Once the school year begins and we have a better sense of our students' needs, we will begin to create materials for November math centers.
The three of us have used Diigo to bookmark several math game sites that we hope to use at our laptop station. At this station, we plan to give children the choice between a couple of games to play.
Through the use of math stations, we will be able to differentiate our math instruction. Once children are independent at centers, we will teach small group lessons during which we will be able to individualize instruction.
