Create a center that integrates both reading and math. There are even free sites that students can access from home such as AAA Math, Cool Math, and Fun Brain.Ĩ.) Reading Literature. There are also great websites like the Math Playground, IXL, MobyMax, and Reflex. I’ve mentioned many websites in my blog post, 5 Great Math Apps for Grades 3-5. There are a lot of great apps and websites out there that really help students practice both math skills and math test prep. Place manipulatives in a center with some directions and students can practice over and over until they really have the concept down.ħ.) Technology. Manipulatives are a great way to make math more concrete, especially with difficult concepts. Then I have students play games such as adding the numbers and seeing how close they can get to one without going over.Ħ.) Manipulatives. I like to do this to program them with fractions or decimals. Just like with card games, you can find dice at the dollar store, but you can also create your own using wooden blocks. I really can’t mention card games without mentioning dice games as one of the math center ideas. Then students can perform any operation, play a game of go fish, play rummy (place them in order), or any other fun game!Ģ.) Dice Games. Then program them to be any set of numbers you wish. You can also take a set of 3″x5″ index cards and cut them in half creating mini-cards. Students keep going until there are no cards left. The first student to say the correct answer first gets both cards.
Divide the set of cards up evenly among the pair of students 2 students each flip a card at once and perform whichever operation you prefer (add, subtract, multiply). For instance, remove the face cards and the aces and then have students play any variation of top-it. There are a variety of games you can have your students play and still practice their math concepts. Most classrooms have at least one set of cards, but if not, you can find them at the dollar store.
