Fun and engaging, easy-to-make math learning centers! June 25, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book contains 40 great different activities that you can put together into shoe boxes and set as learning centers for elementary kids. Although it is aimed at kids between 1st and 3rd grades, some of the games can be played by kindergarteners and with some adaptations you can also use them with 4th graders. For every game, it contains reproducible labels and student directions. It gives you a detailed list of the materials that you should put inside the shoe box and it also gives tips of variations to adapt the games to different objectives.
For most of the games, you only need everyday materials, like toothpicks, beans, play dough, number cubes, domino pieces, buttons, crayons, coins, yarn, magazine cutouts, etc.
When I assembled the learning centers, I found out that most of them can be placed in smaller containers than shoe boxes. As a matter of fact, I used photo storage boxes for the most part (you just make sure to reproduce the copies in the proper size). Instead of putting the crayons or pencils inside the boxes, I placed some cans with crayons and pencils in the center of the station, and kids can use them with any activity. The rest of the materials required (except for the play dough and the marshmallows required for a couple of games) can fit into these smaller containers.
Some of the skills reviewed are skip counting, addition, subtraction, place value, making number stories, patterns, time, money, measurement.
If you like having your kids play games while learning, you will love this book!

Independent Math Centers Challenge Kids! May 22, 2007

As a teacher, I find that challenging kids to work on their own or in a small group is a great learning experience. Shoe Box Math is the answer to the teacher's dilemma of how to set up a math center. This book provides reproducibles, easy to follow instructions and meets the standards being taught. My students love the projects!

These learning centers are easy to put together and maintain. I purchased several plastic shoe boxes from one of the dollar stores in the area to use. As a 4th grade teacher, some of the games were excellent for building up basic skills. I'll be teaching 2nd grade next year, and have already gotten some of the other games ready for use.
Great! May 21, 2002

This book is great for instant independent centers during workshop time! The boxes are easy to use, and can take as much time as you need them to.
