I believe that for math instruction to be effective, it needs to be FUN, differentiated, and targeted.

My math units have been extremely popular (I feel so blessed!) on TpT because they provide all of those components. They are differentiated and filled with fun math stations and activities.

Each unit is typically 4-5 concepts and each concept has: "I Can" and "Students will be able to" posters, differentiated worksheets in 3 levels (below level, on level, and advanced level), at least 1 math station (including all materials, recording sheet(s), teacher directions, and kid-friendly student directions), and at least 1 cut and paste activity.

I plan on writing a blog post about each as I go as well so, like I said, keep checking back!

I am fascinated with your blog in general and especially the first grade math part. I love math now--but didn't when I was in school! Your games and centers could really inspire a love of math right from the start, and isn't that better? I think so!

Thank you for sharing all these great ideas! I am trying to revamp my math centers to be more productive (for lack of a better word). Your ideas for each domain is so helpful!!!

I would love to know- is there a blog post that tells how you store your math games- when in use and when not working on the unit? I struggle with this!
