Centers

Room 4 explored math manipulatives today. We learned how to set-up centers, take turns, share, cooperate, and collaborate in a group. Centers are used at the beginning, middle, or end of our math block. First graders may choose to use a particular math manipulative to solve/support story problems. They may use blocks/counters when solving +/- equations. As we begin our curriculum my students know they can rely on each other to learn side-by-side.
