Math Journals During Guided Math Stations
So, I thought I would try out math journals...but I didn't know what to have them put in their journals. So, I started shopping around on Teachers Pay Teachers and found some cool free stuff. I found this awesome freebie by Ashleigh there and it got me thinking about what I wanted to do. I started shopping on TpT...not for freebies, but real shopping. I ended up with these awesome word problem activities.
 |
| These are 3 sets of word problems that I got from Ashleigh. I mixed them together because they are similar...they just use different operations. I put everything in a see through backpack that I got from Lakeshore Learning. |
 |
| This game is so cool...The kids choose a character, operation, and number. They then write a story problem that goes with the cards they drew. |
 |
| This is one of the stories that was written with a mummy card. |
 |
| This is the freebie from Ashleigh. Instead of a character card, it has a setting card. |
 |
| This is a story problem that was set in a Mermaid Lagoon. |
The kids were so excited to write in their journals and I think they did a pretty good job. Since we only have guided math stations Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, we can share our word problems on Friday. That allows me a chance to help the kids with wording or other problems that may arise.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like everything. This is the first year that I've done work stations, and I just love using the task cards. Thanks Hillary!
