May. 14, 2008 - Our Math Mini Office
I saw this great idea at this site and here. I love the lapbook idea!
Yesterday the 3 "big" kids and I worked on their mini office for math work. I printed lots of helps on white cardstock and then cut them down to size. They had a fun time glueing, taping, and hot glueing their helps to the file folders. I used two letter sized folders and cut off the tabs and stapled them together. I may or may not connect them that way again. The stapled side doesn't open as easily as I would have liked.
Even Austin, my ever uncooperative child, enjoyed himself. My hope is that when they are working on a math assignment they can refer to their mini- office for help.
Here are some of the topics I have included or hope to include in the math mini office:
math symbols
division chart
place value reminders
a number line
a clock
ordinal numbers
even and odd numbers
Roman numerals
I saved lots of pages for a future literature mini office. I may even heat up my new laminator and keep them protected.
