Unfortunately, many elementary math curricula don't include a lot of focus on <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Fun-To-Teach/Category/-Math-Vocabulary-383276" target="_blank">math vocabulary</a>. This is a shame because math vocabulary is so important!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Fun-To-Teach/Category/-Math-Vocabulary-383276" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC8J8LPwY_imPOCGnFV2RqNnLNl78CUdGJsBdXUYTUJ_HZykot83H77SVHYNfRrjtdqkR7H15BKCN6_pUT4_HGzP-0NRFBTPuL4t1HpGXvCN9ta0hEt4s4oyU3nO_3K4HUmsddy6XAZouy4b9E-ES2Bt1qRwEK0ee8EB_8CENY2bIT4pn7LW4KBC3q/s320/Building%20Math%20Vocabulary%20.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Here are just a few reasons why building math vocabulary is so important:</h2><p>1. Math vocabulary helps kids understand new concepts. If a child doesn't know the meaning of a word, they can't possibly understand the concept that the word represents.</p><p>2. Math vocabulary helps kids communicate about math with others. If a child can't explain what they're doing or thinking, it's going to be very difficult to get help from a teacher or tutor. They also won't be able to participate in math class discussions.</p><p>3. Math vocabulary helps kids feel confident about math. If a child doesn't know the words associated with math, they're more likely to feel insecure and unsure of themselves. This can lead to math anxiety and avoidant behaviors.</p><p>Building math vocab should be part of every elementary math curriculum. There are lots of great ways to do this, such as using flashcards, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Fun-To-Teach/Category/-Math-Vocabulary-383276" target="_blank">playing games</a>, and reading books together. So don't wait - start building your child's math vocab today!</p><p>Lori </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcSaCrj1EmTGTej58aG7RWZWvkPvLW8bmWTVsHK-pubw3Vz8akLZ3tfVrJBzD0K5MHTcbQkgma0EM4KWwyTmGQEhixyCJVWTG1QxBM2exGaOFw5KsqzQWtqcn7H-uaJ_ALf6_qjuNf6JBaLch7hmgGZbYyulzEvT0drNVJr7-t_AEIFRbFZ7OlrxT6/s122/Lori's%20Signature.png" style="clear: left;

Take a look at the Math-specific vocabulary you are using in your lesson. Identify which words you want to point out and make sure to explain each one for its new context. For example, students should think 'multiplication' when a word problem uses words like times, every, double, and per. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">P</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ractice multiplication </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">and</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> build Math fact fluency</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in your classroom with </span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-Timed-Tests-Assessment-Multiplication-Practice-632498?utm_source=Blogpost&utm_campaign=ESL%20Math%20Vocabulary%20That%20ELL%20Students%20Need%20To%20Know" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Multiplication Timed Tests Bundle - Factors 0 - 12</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

Skip counting is simply counting by the same number (other than 1) again and again.</span><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Skip counting helps students with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.</span><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Skip counting increases number recognition, number sense and seeing number patterns. At risk students, ELs and special education students all benefit from having a firm foundation in these Math areas. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">If you have English Learners (ELs) in your classroom skip counting is a great way to work on articulation. Make sure your ELs are pronouncing the numbers correctly. Many times the number three is incorrectly pronounced as ‘tree’. This is the time to make sure that gets corrected! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Teaching skip counting to students is easy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Explain that skip counting is when you add the same number over and over.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Start by having students use a number line. Students choose a number and then add 2 to that number and circle the answer. Have students add 2 to the answer and repeat. Students get a visual hands-on model of counting by 2s.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Skip count by 2s, 5s, 10,s your way through transitions. When lining up for recess or lunch encourage students to join you while you count by 2s. This is great for practicing skip counting and creating a sense of urgency to save on transition time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Another fun game to play whole class is ‘Let’s count by’. Teacher decides on a number to count by. Then the teacher calls out a number and the class responds with the next number. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Teacher says: Let’s count by 2<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Teacher says: 4<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Students say: 6<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">During distance learning send flipbooks home or have families print them off. Flipbooks are a super fun way to keep students practicing at home. During online class time you explain the rationale of skip counting and model on line how to put the books together. Students make their skip count books with you and share their books later with the whole family.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;">Skip counting flipbooks are great hands-on Math games and activities for kindergarten, first grade and second grade students. These engaging books work well in math stations, centers, rotations, review, test prep, early or fast finisher activities and more. Use them with Kinder, 1<sup>st</sup>, 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> grade elementary students. With easy differentiated options, they fit a variety of learners. The critical thinking work for enrichment, GATE, or worksheet alternatives for individual kids, small groups or partners. Great for ELD and ESL. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: KB3JustAQuickHello;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria;

Summer school doesn’t have to be an extension of the school year, instead, I challenge you to find ways to make summer school FUN! This post features <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Fun-To-Teach" target="_blank">fun resources</a> to help you do just that. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Check them out.👇</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the great things about summer school is the freedom to have a little more fun than you normally would during the school year. Give yourself the permission to enjoy teaching this summer and to give students hands-on learning opportunities. Allow students to learn through play and interaction with the material. I promise it’ll make this year’s summer school one that will be unforgettable. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We know that summer school still requires math and reading to be taught, so what engaging ways can we expose students to that content?

Fact fluency is a skill that students especially English Language Learners need to develop in order to be successful with math. This post will unpack what fact fluency is, any misconceptions, activities to teach it, and how to make it work for your ELLs. Let’s dive in! 😁</span></p><br />_____________________________________________________<br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">⭐What is math fact fluency?</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">💧What is 6 x 1?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">💧What is 5 x 2?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">💧What is 4 x 3?</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are able to recall the answer to these questions in 2 seconds or less, you may have developed something called <b>math fact fluency</b>. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In simple terms, math fact fluency occurs when a student instantly recalls the answer to a basic math problem. As students repeatedly practice simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equations, they commit the answers to their long-term memory. When students are able to recall these answers instantly, they have achieved math fact fluency.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, math fact fluency is also more than that. In order to possess this skill, students need to feel comfortable with numbers and enjoy working with them. Completing multiplication drills is monotonous and boring for students, but participating in fun activities can help them build their math fact fluency in meaningful ways. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p>____________________________________________________</span></div><div><span><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Math fact fluency vs. Math fact automaticity</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The internet is filled with terms related to math facts. Sometimes it’s difficult to know what the difference between them is! Two common terms that can easily be interchanged are <i><b>math fact fluency</b></i> and <i><b>math fact automaticity</b></i>. Let’s discuss the difference below.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">👆Math Fact Fluency </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- the ability to solve math problems quickly and fluently. Fluency in math refers to being able to manipulate numbers to find an answer quickly. For example, if you posed the question, “how could I solve the problem 3 x 4?” students with fact fluency may know the answer is 12, but their basis in visualizing and manipulating numbers is what has caused them to possess the ability to solve this problem so quickly.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">✌Math Fact Automaticity </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- being able to automatically provide the answer to a question without thinking.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While automaticity is a part of math fact fluency, we want to instill a desire to love math and number manipulation, not just spewing out an answer like a robot.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;">_____________________________________________________</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-size: large;">⭐</span></span><span style="font-size: large;">Lesson Plan</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Looking for a way to teach multiplication fact fluency to your students?

To teach students multiplication fact fluency, you must first teach students how to multiply. Great ways to do this include visual activities like arrays, repeated addition, or creating equal groups with manipulatives. These activities will get students’ minds turning with the understanding of how multiplication works.

As they are solving, their group mates try to solve the equation as well to be sure that the student who is answering the question gives the correct answer. Once the student solves the problem, he or she looks to see if the answer is on their game board. If it is, they cover the answer with the equation card itself. If it isn’t, they put the equation card in the discard pile. Play passes to the next player. The game ends when a player has filled his or her entire board with equation cards. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students love playing this game because they have the opportunity to compete against their group mates to fill up their board first! What student doesn’t love trying to be the first to win? This game helps build math fact fluency because students are practicing math in a meaningful way. Students are engaged as they repeatedly attempt to solve math equations with their group mates.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Have ESL students in your class?</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Because fact fluency is primarily number-based, the skill itself requires little language.

Be consistent and use the same signal for all transitions. Make sure it is a visual and auditory signal. Provide enough “wait time” for students to respond.</div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Choose a method to instill a “sense of urgency” in the transition.</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Students respond well to the feeling that their work and time are important. By giving the situation “a sense of urgency” students respond quickly. Set a timer, count, or sing a song to give students that “sense of urgency. Often simply saying, “Class we have 40 seconds to enter the room quietly and slowly, return to our desks/tables safely and begin reading. Ready go.” is sufficient to instill that sense of urgency.</div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Always follow the same procedure. </h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">During transition times where students leave the room, teach them to put their materials away, stand up, push in their chairs, move slowly and safely to the door. During transition times to the next activity include an activity that will help children adjust to the change. Consider adding: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>a quick opportunity to stretch</li><li>a song that focuses on the new activity or subject</li><li>skip counting</li><li>reciting a poem. </li></ul>This gives students a break to readjust and provides slower students a bit more time to complete the transition. Be deliberate in ending this very short brain break. Go right to work, don’t waste time here. This creates a “sense of urgency” and shows your students that you value their time and work.</div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Be consistent </h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Smooth transitions occur when students know what to do and how to do it. Adhere to your schedule. Have work ready for students. As students enter each morning have a plan for exactly what they will do as they enter. Look at your morning and plan for success. Teach students to enter the room and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Hang up backpacks, jackets, and coats</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Turn in homework</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Sign up for hot or cold lunch </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Find their seats</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Begin reading, handwriting, or whichever morning activity you <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>choose</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Consider playing music or setting a timer the students can hear for the first minute students are entering the room. </h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Be very consistent and choose the same amount of time the music ends or the timer goes off in order to create that “sense of urgency”. Transition times will be efficient and productive parts of your educational day when you value your students’ time and work. </div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Finally, good teaching of any routine and procedure is the key to success. </h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="text-align: left;">Remember to explain the expected behavior, explicitly model the routine and procedure, practice, practice, practice, and finally provide feedback. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="text-align: left;"><b> Congratulations, you are on your way to smooth, efficient, and safe transition times.</b></span></div></div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We created a helpful worksheet you can <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Smooth-Transitions-Planner-7906859?utm_source=Math%20Blog&utm_campaign=Smooth%20Transitions" target="_blank">download for free</a>. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What strategies and activities do you use during transition times?

Teaching Math Prefixes is one of the keys that will help unlock </span></span><a href="https://esleld.blogspot.com/2021/01/Vocabulary%20ELLs%20need%20to%20know%20to%20understand%20Math.html" target="_blank">Math vocabulary</a><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. Let's take a look at one way to teach your ELLs about the meaning of number prefixes. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://esleld.blogspot.com/2022/01/teaching%20math%20vocabulary.html" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; font-family: Oxygen; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="1062" height="140" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhuoROt0ZqGqtkbGr1nPlE1R_gVgu_sgKHqLCWXWWPtPbAMBq5qki_mE9VJppFhcNXW5gADByjQb5v9geCs5c7ttbHRLYgz467cJ7hcVVyXmExjEyCEsyydlCnKrwqR6ik5Ff85KK6OZDwscUZxA7X83p36nr8GpwDQTdFKn_dL_ojQRwIprBM1UBhWLg=w185-h140" width="185" /></a></p><p></p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /><h1 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Prefixes and Math</span></h1><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A prefix is defined as a word, letter, or number that comes before another word. This “before” word, or prefix, changes the original meaning in some format. For example, if you use the prefix centi- before the word meter then you create a centimeter or one-hundredth of a meter. But without the prefix, a meter is a much larger measurement. Math has its own set of prefixes that are important to the operation. We need to understand how to teach number prefixes to our ESL students in a way that they can connect with so they can understand that number prefixes tell us how many of something, like the meter.</span></p><br /><br /><h3 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Beginning</span></h3><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Knowing where to start when teaching any kind of vocabulary is one of the most challenging pieces for teachers. This is even more true when teaching ESL students and especially true when dealing with math vocabulary. So knowing how to teach number prefixes can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be if we break it down into pieces. I like to start with a word tree. </span></p><br /><h3 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Word Trees</span></h3><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yep, using word trees is one of the best ways to teach number prefixes. We use them all the time with new vocabulary in English class and math should be no different. For this tree, you will want to have the <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Number-Prefixes-Math-Games-Activities-and-Lesson-Plans-576418?utm_source=ESLELD%20Blog&utm_campaign=Teaching%20Number%20Prefixes" target="_blank">prefixes</a> in one section, some base words in the middle, and then the new words in the last section. Because there are multiple prefixes that can be used with each base word you can have lots of options.</span></p><br /><h3 style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Flashcards for the Middle</span></h3><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sometimes knowing how to teach number prefixes is going back to the basics, which for me means flashcards. This is what I consider the middle section of my lessons on number prefixes. Students can spread them out and match them up in many different methods. Sometimes I will use <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Number-Prefixes-Math-Games-Activities-and-Lesson-Plans-576418?utm_source=ESLELD%20Blog&utm_campaign=Teaching%20Number%20Prefixes" target="_blank">flashcards</a> with the whole group. When I do this I will hold the card up and each student will choose a matching card to hold up. I also like to use flashcards for independent practice. The key to this step of the lesson is repetition.</span></p><br /><h3 style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Playing Games for Review</span></h3><div><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Number-Prefixes-Math-Games-Activities-and-Lesson-Plans-576418?utm_source=ESLELD%20Blog&utm_campaign=Teaching%20Number%20Prefixes" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="350" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiz0DzG2vYICgitWkvYkzXp0nnJCi3IIJnrQ51xzpIaYclJFQ8SJOfBKAoVG-jmaILJGfyJt1VDpE0g81KGxZLhwwerXLal_TZxrMv_1ChmpqsylD-h47lGABt4PkiVfyKV__yAlYAeU2hYhvv9DoidZQ1zXcIHA0YF5nX3YVcbN8uXKoeDgAJr3yzo0A=w200-h200" width="200" /></a><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Number-Prefixes-Math-Games-Activities-and-Lesson-Plans-576418?utm_source=ESLELD%20Blog&utm_campaign=Teaching%20Number%20Prefixes" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><br /></a></div></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Playing games is one of my favorite ways to review any skill that we are working on. This is no different when I am teaching number prefixes. I have done the work for you in my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Number-Prefixes-Math-Games-Activities-and-Lesson-Plans-576418?utm_source=ESLELD%20Blog&utm_campaign=Teaching%20Number%20Prefixes" target="_blank">Math Games</a>.

The games serve as a great review of everything we just learned with our word tree and flashcards.

Especially, if like me you work with ELL students or any other student who may be at-risk of academic challenges. We know that math is about so much more than numbers, there are words involved that tend to trip up even our best. In math, words often have multiple meanings or mean something else entirely from their “normal” use. Suddenly words like face have nothing to do with where we wear our smiles. So how do we teach math vocabulary to ELL and at-risk students? </span></div><span><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pre Teaching and Graphic Organizers</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just like with ELA vocabulary the best place to start with teaching <a href="https://www.blogger.com/u/0/blog/post/edit/247563426110136936/3396906081901440496" target="_blank">math vocabulary</a> to English learners is at the beginning. This means pre-teaching any words that we know are going to cause a struggle. I love to use a graphic organizer during this time. My students make a notebook as we add definitions, examples, and even pictures of our new words. The organizers become a learning tool that my students can look back on throughout the lesson and as a review at the end.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Modeling and Visual Cues</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve already mentioned some visual cues but I like to take it a step further than just my students’ individual notebooks. I place visual cues for our most challenging words around the classroom when teaching math vocabulary to ELL and at-risk students. We move from spot to spot and I model the meaning of the word specific to our math lesson. This gives me the perfect opportunity to talk about how some words have different meanings in different contexts. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjnBvME8OFAPXFha0sZmiATkzALKXPdjIYUKS_YRTphjb9W3mt9_RnsQLWzeeB7JvtgMAIqB4oEbWlHLS5Qz7SsNaGTn912lDkCEmuggV6xDDcBeH8FPO940y7QP7exrsS9VmUaE7sSxbmGhQ80OI0EovcX0CxwgtfFbdGllYiFN0TYaCIjIaa-v563=s1958" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1958" data-original-width="1292" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjnBvME8OFAPXFha0sZmiATkzALKXPdjIYUKS_YRTphjb9W3mt9_RnsQLWzeeB7JvtgMAIqB4oEbWlHLS5Qz7SsNaGTn912lDkCEmuggV6xDDcBeH8FPO940y7QP7exrsS9VmUaE7sSxbmGhQ80OI0EovcX0CxwgtfFbdGllYiFN0TYaCIjIaa-v563=w132-h200" width="132" /></a></div><p></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Vocabulary Banks and Student Friendly Definitions</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After we have reviewed the words together and talked through each meaning in math, my students will start to build a vocabulary bank. I like to use index cards with a ring for this. Students will have the words written on one side and then a student-friendly definition on the other side. This definition needs to be anchored in skills that our students already have. Luckily math lessons build naturally.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Math-Vocabulary-Trading-Card-Bundle-Math-Games-ESL-3876609?utm_source=Blog%20Post&utm_campaign=January%20Math%20Vocab%20blog%20post" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="233" height="99" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhwBM1NfHp7MVxtyGwEHIivQXb4ok6eA1PFCrHxxDQIuegxCdRDtQJILa5vBNsLc6VbBnubD560MEBdJcnRz0NeE0wPmEKG6_yvser2WKE39mq0fecrWBIUj57RBJRAc8MpG3BO7tKaiogNfYADN8HT514nF-mqCtCVhb628yo1E3biTLb1yk91lU9u=w72-h99" title="Math Vocabulary" width="72" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I realize that the vocabulary bank is very similar to their notebook, but I also know that writing the words and definitions multiple times in multiple ways is an excellent reinforcer.</span><p></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Math Journals</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I usually break teaching math vocabulary to ELL and at-risk students into chunks…pre-teaching, the lesson, and the review. At the end of each of these chunks, I have my students complete a math journal page. This varies depending on grade level but typically looks something like completing this prompt, “Today in math I learned…”. This is just one more way that students are able to think through their vocabulary, explain it in their own terms, and reinforce written expression and understanding.</span></p><br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Teaching Math Vocabulary</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Math vocabulary does not have to feel overwhelming to our students.

Sentence frames give students an opportunity to access the math concepts and to engage in the classroom conversation of math by answering questions. Giving students part of the language of a sentence, or the structure of a sentence allows a focus on the concept, not the language. A sentence frame helps students see what an answer might look like. Sentence frames give students a chance to use the new math vocabulary in a meaningful way. Sentence frames support students' ability to produce language at a higher language level than they are at.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;"> </span></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">How to Use Math Frames During Instruction?</span></span><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;"> </span></h3><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">Sentence frames during math:</span></span></h4></div><div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Teacher models the use of the sentence frames including the new math vocabulary presented in the lesson.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Teacher practices with class.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Partners or small groups practice together.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>During the rest of the lesson integrate this practice.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>At the end of the instruction, students use the sentence frames to write about what they were learning.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;"></span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">Examples of sentence frames:</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sentence-Frames-ESL-Freebie-7252998?utm_source=https%3A%2F%2Fesleld.blogspot.com%2F&utm_campaign=Sentence%20Frames%20for%20Math" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AKTuCOEuyuI/YUPQeLwUNqI/AAAAAAAAErg/Hl_hDl-XJvUFhMMuzO51oHhw8Q71aCRmACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/Math%2BSentence%2BFrames.jpg" title="Math Sentence Frames" width="480" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;"><br /></span></div><span style="color: #01ffff;"></span><div><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sentence-Frames-ESL-Freebie-7252998?utm_source=https%3A%2F%2Fesleld.blogspot.com%2F&utm_campaign=Sentence%20Frames%20for%20Math" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01ffff;"><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">Click here to download a copy of this chart!</span></span></a></div><div><span style="color: #01ffff;"><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;"> </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #01ffff;"><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;"> </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #01ffff;"><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">Happy Teaching, </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #01ffff;"><span style="font-family: Bubblegum Sans;">Lori </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Luckiest Guy;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Luckiest Guy;"><script type="text/javascript">window.dojoRequire(["mojo/signup-forms/Loader"], function(L) { L.start({"baseUrl":"mc.us2.list-manage.com","uuid":"cbf24935a27cb5f458ad62415","lid":"418f1f8b09","uniqueMethods":true}) })</script></span>Fun To Teachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14845765104851070128noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680478709618848395.post-52228372522964657722021-09-10T12:20:00.004-07:002021-09-10T12:20:47.993-07:00 👀Learning and Math Centers💃<p><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">Hello everyone! </span></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">Welcome to a center-based classroom!</span></h1><h1><i style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: center;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">Imagine walking into your classroom and seeing students in small groups working cooperatively.

🅱</span></h2><h2></h2><h3><span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Cabin;">What does a center-based classroom look like?</span></span></h3><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">A well-run center-based classroom will have small groups of children working independently at all of the centers, the teacher leading a small group at the guided reading center, and perhaps a parent facilitating another center. The children will be engaged in the activities, well trained about the procedures, and involved in their own learning.</span></div><h3><span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Cabin;">What's the rationale?</span></span></h3><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">Learning centers facilitate growth and learning!</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">💭 Learning centers provide an opportunity for small-group</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">reading instruction.</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">💭 Learning centers enhance student learning.</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">💭 Learning centers teach students responsibility.</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">💭 Learning centers allow you to teach to a variety of</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">learning styles.</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">💭 Learning centers offer a wider variety of activities for</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">students to learn from.</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">💭 Learning centers allow students to work at their own level</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">while reviewing and practicing skills.</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">💭 Learning centers promote cooperative learning</span></div><h3><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Cabin;">What is a center?</span></h3><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">A center is a physical area in a classroom set aside for a specific</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">learning purpose. The center has appropriate materials and supplies </span><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">so students can work individually or in cooperative groups.</span></div><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;"><br /></span></div><h3><span style="font-family: Cabin;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">How many students should I put in each group?</span></span></h3><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">We recommend three to four students in each group at each center.</span></div><div><br /></div><h3><span style="font-family: Cabin;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">How long do students spend at each center?</span></span></h3><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">Twenty to thirty minutes at each center is an adequate amount of time for students to complete most center activities.</span></div><h3><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Cabin;">How do students know where to go when it is time to rotate centers?</span></h3><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">By teaching and practicing the routines and procedures you want to be followed at center time, your students will know what you want them to do. We suggest you follow a clockwise rotation pattern to rotate students through centers.</span></div><div><br /></div><h3><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Cabin;">How do I group my students for centers?</span></h3><div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">To teach to the varied levels in all classrooms, we suggest you group your students by reading abilities. By grouping students this way, you can meet the instructional needs of all your students in Math. Learning centers will allow you to teach to your low, medium, and high ability groups and move everyone forward.</span></div><div><i style="text-align: center;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><h3 style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Cabin;">How does a center-based classroom look?</span></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">Many teachers use tables and desks against the walls in</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">their classrooms. You can use student desks as a center, too.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">During center time, the desks will be empty and small groups of children will be sitting at centers throughout the room. The teacher at a small group math center will have her/his back to the wall in order to see all centers at a glance from where she/he sits.</span></div><h3 style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Cabin;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Learning-Centers-Made-Simple-Literacy-Center-Ideas-for-Reading-and-Math-191988" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LDfJa_BqPLk/YTulH8BwboI/AAAAAAAAEq8/Lio2U0I1GAQNK3oSfF0v2DKyvBl4KEIFACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Learning%2BCenters%2B2.png" width="320" /></a></div>How many adults do I need to run centers in my classroom?</span></span></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;"> Just you! When you teach the routines and procedures of</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">your centers well, your students will learn how to work without supervision during center time.</span></div><h3 style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Cabin;">How long is center time?</span></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">That depends on you and on how many centers you have </span><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">each day. If you have five groups of students rotating through five centers and spending 15 minutes at each center, then you will need 1 hour and 15 minutes for center time. Six groups of children rotating through six centers will need an hour and a half. Remember to add a little extra time for the rotation of</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">groups when determining the time you will allot for centers.</span></div><h3 style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Cabin;">When it is time to change centers, how do I get my students’ attention?</span></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">Ringing a bell or calling out “freeze” or “give me five” are great ways to call your students to attention. Teach your students to “freeze” when the signal is given and to listen for instructions.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;"><br /></span></div><i><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><div><span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Cabin;">By providing a center-based environment in your classroom, you will be able to give your attention to small groups of children during “guided reading.” Research shows that this small-group instruction is one of the primary components that leads to strong readers. Centers are perfect for differentiation and making sure you are reaching and teaching your<a href="https://www.blogger.com/u/0/blog/post/edit/247563426110136936/8786213411939706491" target="_blank"><br />English learners</a>. Centers also allow you to teach to all the student levels that are in your classroom. Your choice to run centers in your classroom will also teach your students how to work cooperatively in small groups. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Learning-Centers-Made-Simple-Literacy-Center-Ideas-for-Reading-and-Math-191988" target="_blank">Learning centers </a>allow you to teach “responsibility” as students work independently, practicing and</span></div><div><span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Cabin;">reviewing skills and concepts at each center. </span></div></span></i><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">💜💜💜</span></div><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">Happy Teaching,</span></div><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">Lori</span></div><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;">For more in-depth information on running centers in an elementary classroom <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Learning-Centers-Made-Simple-Literacy-Center-Ideas-for-Reading-and-Math-191988?utm_source=esleldblog.&utm_campaign=Learning%20Centers%20Made%20Simple" target="_blank">Click Here! </a></span></div><div style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Learning-Centers-Made-Simple-Literacy-Center-Ideas-for-Reading-and-Math-191988" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="706" data-original-width="706" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wmimmg3tEgY/YTuNw8QxdqI/AAAAAAAAEqs/6WFZsqLphsUJswiKB8W_rsAxfhS5iL6oQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Learning%2BCenters%2BMade%2BSimple%2Bnew%2Bcover%2B2021.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /></div><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Cabin;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: large;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: large;"><br /></div></span></i></div>Fun To Teachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14845765104851070128noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680478709618848395.post-11723219404614371122021-07-27T07:12:00.001-07:002021-07-27T07:12:00.198-07:00Back to School Freebies<p> <span style="color: #ff00fe; font-family: "Gloria Hallelujah";">Hello everyone!</span></p><div><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-family: Gloria Hallelujah;">I hope you are enjoying the summer!</span></div><div><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-family: Gloria Hallelujah;">I have been working in the garden~ ha-ha, that is not new!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Fun-To-Teach" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-family: Gloria Hallelujah;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="143" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lz2lJSdQnnU/YPl3T7YmxkI/AAAAAAAAElQ/QihO_nCBz8UflhxFb7yGGqkJBEQ093aXQCLcBGAsYHQ/w253-h143/C9758700-7AAE-4232-8619-7ED0331D1C9A.jpeg" width="253" /></span></a></div><div><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-family: Gloria Hallelujah;">I am teaching summer school this year and am really excited.
