Guided Math Centers: What are students doing when they’re not meeting with me?

Guided math is one of my favorite times to teach. I love that students (even in kindergarten) can be independent while navigating through different centers. Meeting with students and tailoring lessons to their levels is so important and I love that I can reach more learners by using small groups. But what do students do when they’re not meeting with me? Read on, to check out the guided math centers in my classroom.

Guided Math Centers: What are students doing when they’re not meeting with me?

I use the M.A.T.H. acronym for our guided math schedule.

M – Meet with Teacher

A – At your Seat

T – Technology

H – Hands On

You can read about what students are doing when they meet with me here.

A – At Your Seat

While students are at their seats, they complete their workbook pages or worksheets I find appropriate for whatever we’re learning. This is where I just use the curriculum we have. (We have Math Expressions.)

T – Technology

During the technology center, students have the choice of 4 different math apps that students play on iPads.

Their choices are:

  • Lola’s Math
  • Lola’s Math 2
  • Animal Math
  • Kids Learn Maths

These are all free!

H – Hands On

When students get to the hands on station, they get to play math games! I like to choose the math game they’ll play because I like to put out a game that connects with whatever skill we’re learning. I get my math games from TpT.

Check out my math game membership available in my TpT store! This membership will include all the math games I create (games I’ve already created and future games I create).
