Our states new Math Standards are really difficult but in the end I truly believe my students will be more prepared then ever! We adopted a great series called GO Math that is completely aligned to the new standards. I try to make each lesson fun by adding some math/art project to Centers. Here is one that was for standard Operations and Algebraic Thinking.
"Ways to Make a Number"
Since it was Valentines time I made a bug using 8 V-color legs and students had to come up with 8 different ways to make a number. They really liked it. I let them pick any number they wanted.
A Dr. Seuss one will be posted soon...just in time for his Birthday!

| Can differentiate since students get to pick their own number. I urged some to choose more difficutl numbers. |

| Again, students had to come up with their own facts. Was impressed with this one. I also encourage three addends for some. |
