Math centers

Here are some of our math centers this week:

Find the turtle- this game. Yields in self regulation, working memory, and language acquisition. One child hides the small turtle under a shape, and the other children have tot sketch turns asking yes/no questions. Is it under a shape with 4 sides? Is it under a thin shape? None of the shapes get removed, and by the power of deduction children have to guess where the turtle is.

Roll a jack-o-lantern

Build a pyramid

Build a city- children roll a die and build a building with the corresponding number of cubes. Whereall buildings are complete, children stack the buildings together and count how many cubes they have. The final touch is to pick a card out of the magic bag which decides who wins- the person with more cubes or the person with less.
