Math Stations-Shape

One of my goals this summer is to review how I am doing Math Stations and look for ways to improve them.  I am starting at the beginning.  I redid my Shape Stations first.  I decided to focus my shape stations on the  Mouse Stories by Ellen Stoll Walsh.

TPT STORE

My math shape stations include:

·      Shape Bingo

·      Shape Memory

·      Mouse Counting Jars

·      A Mouse Shape Spinner Game

·      Shake and Make A Mouse

·      Say It and Draw It

·      Number Power

The stations focus on the basic shapes: circle, rectangle, triangle, square, oval, hexagon, and diamond.  There is also a review of identifying numbers 0-20. 

I also wanted to share how I plan to organized the stations for next year as well.  First I purchased these drawers.

Then I purchased these plastic folders that the children will carry to the tables to work with.  “I Can” directions are on the back.   When the unit is over I just need to collect the folders and put then away in the file cabinet for next year. 

 I put green dots on the folders to indicate that the folders are on level for everyone.  

I am planning on purchasing this Mouse Unit from Doodle Bugs Teaching for enrichment as soon as TPT is working correctly.
