Math Center: Mixed Representations – Subtraction is a matching activity designed to build both a conceptual and working understanding that amounts can be represented in many ways. It develops mental computational fluency, creates flexibility in counting and is an ideal resource for independent math centers or math station rotations. Instructions: Print, laminate and cut the individual cards. Mix the cards. Students create a match of three by finding 2 cards that have the same value as the answer card. Using the imbedded arrows, one of the cards is placed on the left and one on the right while the answer card is always in the middle. Cards can be divided into as few or as many sets as required. Depending on space and time, I will usually make a center/rotation that requires between 6 or 10 matches. It all depends on your own class situation. This resource contains: 61 cards / 20 matches (3 cards to a match) and one title card. PDF and PNG files. Enjoy!

Know Your Multiplication - Equal Groups is a set of task cards designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their conceptual understanding of multiplication. Although these cards are commonly used as task cards, they can also be divided and used in math centers or rotations. This resources contains: A total of 25 cards (24 task cards and 1 title card) Student recording sheet Answer key Complete PDF and individual PNG files of the cards also included Instructions: Print, laminate and cut the individual cards. (p. 2-8) Print student sheet (p. 9) and provide each student with a worksheet. You may prefer to allow students to work in pairs Distribute the cards around the room Students may start at any number and work their way through in any order, but it is helpful to remind students to write the answer in the same numbered answer box i.e., if they are on card number 12, they should write their answer in answer box number 12 Check answers Enjoy!
