Kindergarten Math Centers: 20 Centers & Visual Directions
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Math Centers offer students hands-on, spiral review practice with skills that have been introduced and taught during our Guided Math groups. Additionally, working with a partner, centers allow students the opportunity to talk about their math thinking, apply math vocabulary, and hear how other people think about math. Additionally, when students visit math centers, I have the opportunity to meet with our Guided Math groups for intentional instruction. Plus, math centers are FUN!
In this resource you will find 20 challenging, ready-to-print math centers, coordinating labels, and visual directions for your math-center bins.

To ensure that all my learners are challenged, many of the centers have differentiated recording logs. Please choose the logs that work best for your students. When I use leveled materials I (a) print them on white paper and place them into color-coordinated folders – green (approaching grade-level), yellow (grade-level), and blue (above grade-level) (b) print on color-cardstock (c) level the manipulative students are using. Before setting out a center, make sure to check that you have the dice (6, 8, and 12 sided), as well as, dominoes (double 6s, 9s, and 12s) so all of your students have the just-right challenge.
Happy Teaching,
