Mardi Gras Math Centers

Included in this file are THREE Mardi Gras themed activities that you can use as center activities in your math classroom.

Activity 1: Fractions Mardi Gras Float creation. Students will answer a set of 10 questions to draw a float for the Mardi Gras parade. Each fraction question is based off of a total of 12 krewe members. It is perfect to get your students thinking about numbers in different ways.

Activity 2: Integers Board Game. Students choose a card that represents a positive or negative integer and move across the game board. The first students to reach the finish line will win the game. *****Students do not have to know integers to play this game.********
When I play this with my class I have them tell if the number is a positive or negative teacher.

** The game cards can also be used to sort into positive and negative categories.

Activity 3: Mardi Gras themed Number Sense Mental Math computation cards. This set of differentiated cards allows students to practice mental math computation skills. Each card contains 4-6 directions which students follow to find the correct answer. Students can use a hundreds board or dry erase board for help as needed. These are perfect to practice close listening skills as a whole group as well.
