Description
PURPOSE:
This set of fifteen-minute math centers will provide your students with opportunities to experience the 5th grade math topics using writing, hands-on manipulatives, small group work, independent tasks, and technology. Extend your students’ understanding by devoting 75 minutes a week to math rotations that will stretch their thinking and further develop their problem solving skills.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
This product contains:
✏️ 29 weeks of center rotations (5 fifteen-minute rotations per week)
✏️ Guide to implementing the centers
STORY:
A warm up, writing prompts, partner work, note taking and textbook problems aren’t enough to keep up a student’s interest and full capabilities for learning in the math classroom. I decided my first year to implement a weekly rotation for math centers modeled after the “Daily 5” strategy used in language arts. Students go through 5 fifteen-minute rotations using a variety of tools to explore the current unit or topic we are working through as a class. This structure gives students something to look forward to (we always do it on Wednesdays) and also provides extra time for focused group work that goes beyond the pages of a textbook or my abilities to teach the entire class at once. Set up these rotations as a weekly structure in your class and wait for your students to wish it was Wednesday – just like mine!
POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS:
Possible extensions included in this file!
MATERIALS/PRE-REQS:
Besides this file, you may require:
✏️ Manipulatives like base ten blocks, centimeter cubes, fraction tiles, decimal tiles or paper versions of these
✏️ Whiteboards and Markers
✏️ Technology with access to internet (I like to use our classroom’s smart board but you can choose to structure the technology rotation around individual laptops instead)
✏️ A teacher account to an online, interactive math game website like Splash Learn or Legends of Learning
