Organizing Your Math Centers--Builds Acronym



I've been out of school since Friday and I feel like my brain is still on overload.  Does that mean I take a break from all things educational???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Last night I started researching how to organize my math centers and tried to find a book to download.  I never found a book.

I've seen the acronym BUILD being used  in several articles on the Internet.  Build stands for:


B-Buddy Games

U-Using Manipulatives

I-Independent Work

L-Learning About Numbers


D-Doing Math



and last night as I sat here trying to work it out in my head, I decided that an S needed to be added for a little  extra zing:


S-Strategies in Math which could work as journal writing


I am very big on journaling in math because I believe it helps the students work out the steps and sequences to problem solving.  This acronym is a definite possibility to help organize math centers next year, but a friend told me that there are other acronyms out there in the world.  So, I will spend some time researching this and hope find other ideas for organizing my centers.  


So, while I was 'fiddling' around with how this BUILD board would work in my room, I came up with some ideas for a board.  Feel free to download these and use them!













Enjoy!
