Math Class with Ms. J

Do your second graders love a choice board? Here is a great option for your kiddos that involve shapes, fractions and lines/angles. This board gives kids lots of options to show their learning but in a way they like too. I had students choose 3 in a row, but you can have them pick 3 or more in anyway you want.

Student can use these work mats to solve problems that are done in standard algorithm/vertical method. These are great to print and put in a page cover so students can write on top of them with an expo marker and then erase. you can also save these to your computer and write with the kids on them. If you need another kind of template not on here, reach out and I can make you one!
