Paper Practice
- When students choose Paper Practice allows students to choose what they're the most comfortable with. Students may also choose something that they want more practice on and may bring it to their assigned time during Tools w/Teacher. This area of study is done alone at their desk.
- When students choose Fact Games they work out of the Fact Games drawers. Students work on review skills at this time. Review skills consist of one digit addition/subtraction flashcards, graphing objects, dice games and number practice. Students use the computer games to practice specific skills. All bags have directions inside. Students read the directions before starting. Students go to the carpet to ensure visibility. This helps with classroom management! I have tape on my carpet for a seating chart. Students work within the lines and maintain a sense of space with their game pieces. It does help them stay organized!
- Teacher uses the computers as a waiting area. Students are called from the station to work with the teacher.
- I have three computers set up at the counter. This allows students to focus skills while waiting to receive intervention with the teacher. Students are also allowed to use the math book bin and sit in the giraffe and explore the environmental print in math.
- Problem Solving is a great way to incorporate writing into math. Students may choose one yellow cards at their desk, easels or choose to work on the problem of the week. Either way students are given the opportunity to write and create during this time. Students are also given the opportunity to create their own problem to share with other students at the end of our sessions.
- Students work with numbers using a listening center. They work on current and spiraled skills to enhance number sense concepts. Students need to have a strong base of number sense to ensure success in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills. This is an amazing new choice which allows students to work on numbers in an interactive way.
