Winter Math Freebie

Well hello.

Happy {the school week is now more than halfway over} day!

I’m popping in really quick to offer up a freebie from my “Snow Many Math Centers”.

As I said here, my favorite thing about my centers this time around is that I made an extension sheet that correlates perfectly with the center itself, but is also great as a stand alone sheet for classwork, homework, or assessments!

I uploaded one of the extension sheets to Google Docs.  It’s a number story sheet that covers a few different common core topics.   Please check it out, by clicking here.  If you like what you see, you can check out “Snow Many Math Centers” over at TpT. 



Have a good night friends!

{Tomorrow is Thursday already!}

Lindsay, over at Primary Polka-Dots is having a super fun linky all about clip art.

My name is Halle and I am a clip art addict. {The first step is admitting your problem, you know}.

I hope you were able to discover some new artists or clip art sets!  Hop on over to Lindsay’s blog to link up yourself, or check out some favorites of other bloggers!



Also…

I just finished up my Winter Math Centers.

I wasn’t gonna make any.  I wasn’t.  Then I found some really, really cute clip art. {Because I’m addicted, remember}?

I present to you “Snow Many Math Centers”



Five centers aligned to the Common Core.

Each center comes with a Center Sign/Label, Student Directions Sheet, Recording Sheet, Center Materials, and my favorite…and extension sheet that you can use as a follow up with your whole class, in small groups, or as homework!

I love that I can do center rotations in my room, then give homework or classwork that mimics what they did during centers.  It’ll help me see who really “gets” it!
Here are a few close-ups of the centers:

I am really excited to use them in my room, and to share them with you.  These centers took a lot of hard work, but I think they were worth it!

I hope you love them too!  If you do, leave a comment below.  I will pick a winner before bed!

Bedtime for Me!  Tomorrow's a Monday!  Congrats Luck Number 7, Amanda! {Picked randomly by none other than my hubby! I hope you love these centers!!!}
