Mad for Math

  Geometry in the upper elementary grades is more complicated than just matching shapes and names. Students are now being asked to categorize polygons in different hierarchies and subsets along with classifying triangles by their sides and angles .  There are SO many vocabulary terms to memorize and then apply to open-ended questions. I found, years back when the math standards changed, that it was difficult to find resources that challenged students but then also gave enough practice and scaffolding for other students who took a bit longer to grasp these concepts. I decided to make a few resources to address these problems and they are now some of my best sellers in my TpT store.

These five math centers are the perfect addition to your February math center rotations. They cover five different skills that are aligned to both the Texas standards and the Common Core standards. They will allow your students to practice place value, math facts through color-by-number, odd and even numbers, multiplication models and even a data and graphing interactive activity. Students will poll their classmates and then create a bar graph with their data and answer questions based off the results. I love whenever concepts can be spiraled throughout the year to allow students continual practice and exposure to both old and new concepts. And even better when it's themed! Plus, the only prep you need to do is print! Enjoy! Valentine Math Centers for Second Grade
