New Common Core Math Centers Series






















**UPDATE** I have decided to make this first set free so you can evaluate the quality of my work.  If you like it, follow me on TpT to be updated of new sets!  Click any of the pictures below to upload this set for free!

Hi everyone!  I am feeling much better compared to my last post, but I am still under the weather which stinks because today is my birthday and I woke up feeling HOR.RI.BLE!  I started feeling a little better as the day went by, especially after my bath soak while my three year-old was watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Thank God for the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse... Come inside it's fun inside!  How many of you know that tune??  I think I know every word as well as the hotdog dance!  lol  I just love my sweet Hunter Blaine.  He and his little brother, Hudson, are the light of my world.  Anyways, during my kids' naps snoozes, I managed to get started on something that I am really excited about.  I began thinking a few days ago... what if there were math centers designed for every single math standard I teach.. and for cheap!  I wanted to create something that would be useful and well organized for myself and others.  I have posted before about how I organize my stations by standard, and I wanted my actual stations to be organized by standard.  Some standards are more difficult to teach than others, and some have more resources than others.  For example, there are a TON of things on place value, multiplication, and common standards like that.  But, what about the weird standards that fit here and there?  So, I have come up with a Common Core Math Centers Series that I began working on today.  I have started with the first standard, MCC4.OA.1, and I have created two math centers that directly align with that specific standard.  This will continue until each MCC4 standard has at least two math centers.  I am so excited about this because it is something that I will use in my own classroom.  I had already started making some, but they were here and there and not in any particular order.  The great thing is that they are all blackline masters which means no colored ink.  All you have to do is print them on bright paper, laminate, cut, and VIOLA!  I actually went to Office Max today to buy three packs of Astrobright paper (they were on sale, buy 2 get 1 free.)  I can't wait to get to work on Monday to begin printing and laminating.  I just love making these... they are so fun.  So... I have a preview of what they are and they are in my TpT store for $2.00.  The first set is for standard MCC4.OA.1: multiplicative comparisons.  There are two math centers in this set.  Take a peak!  You can click on any picture to be taken to my store.








I can't wait to share more of these with you!

That is MARVELOUS! This will be super helpful as I struggle to align the out of date Math curriculum to the CC. If you ever need a proofreader, let me know!
