Super Bowl Math Centers!

The Super Bowl is this weekend! This will be our first Super Bowl in North Carolina. We will be going to watch at one of my fiancé's very best childhood friend's house (who just so happens to live 45 minutes away!) But before it's time for pizza, wings, beer and football...we need to celebrate the Super Bowl in school.

I recently created my very first math center packet to sell on TeachersPayTeachers. It is all things football. There are 7 math centers and a student playbook to record their answers. The centers hit on place value, addition and subtraction with and without regrouping, measurement, time, and money. Click the picture below to purchase!



I run my centers twice a week for about 30 minutes.  I split my students into mixed ability groups and run 10 minute rotations. I have an 8th grade student at this time who runs one center and the rest of the centers are run independently. This time allows me to pull out students who need extra help and have some one-on-one instruction time.

This week for Super Bowl math centers I ran a center and taught a mini lesson on regrouping - we just started this week and are off to a great start! This time really allowed me to see where everyone was at after my whole group lesson from the day.

My class really enjoyed these centers! I asked my students if they knew who was going to be playing in the Super Bowl...here were a few responses: "North Carolina Tar Heels," "Miami Heat," and the "Panthers." Hey...at least they named one football team...
