 About This Book

L
ooking for ways to get your students working independently on essential skills? If so,

you’ll appreciate the opportunities offered by Pocket-Folder Centers in Color: Math:

Grades 2–3, a collection of learning centers that targets math skills every student

needs to master.

Research shows that understanding math concepts

is fundamental in developing proficiency and

becoming an autonomous learner. The center

activities in this book provide students of all

learning styles with a motivating, fun way to

independently practice and build skills while helping

them meet important math standards. (See “What the

Research Says” and “Meeting the Math Standards,”

page 9, for more.) After they do each activity,

students complete a practice page that gives them

additional reinforcement in the targeted skill. Answer keys are also included, making the

centers self-correcting and allowing students to assess their work independently.

Everything you need is here and ready to assemble—saving you countless hours of

preparation time. The pocket-folder centers are a snap to set up and store: Just glue the

labels to the folders, pop the full-color activity mats and copies of the practice pages into

the pockets, and you’ve got twelve instant learning-center activities. Students will have

fun learning as they add in Swamp Sums, subtract in Zip, Zap, Splat!, multiply in Bubbling

Over, divide in Fired Up, find money values in Ahoy, Mates!, tell time in Whoooo Knows the

Time?, and much more.

 Making the Pocket-Folder Centers
In addition to the center activity pages,
you will need the following:
Tips
• 12 colorful, two-pocket folders
(without prongs) • Glue the pocket-folder labels and
answer key to each folder. Then
• scissors
laminate the folder, activity mat,
• glue stick or rubber cement cards, and markers for durability.
• craft knife
• After laminating the folder, use a craft
• zipper plastic bags knife to slit and re-open the pockets.

• For extra durability, back the activity

mats and cards with tagboard,
then laminate.

• Before cutting the activity cards

apart, make additional color or
black-and-white copies to have on
hand in case pieces are lost.

Storage Ideas
Laminate the full-color label (page 11) and
attach it to your pocket-folder storage container.
Keep the pocket-folder centers in any of these places:

• learning center
• vertical file tray
• file box
• file cabinet
• bookshelf
• plastic stacking crate
• large storage tub

 Getting the Most Out of Pocket-Folder Centers
Here are a few more ways to get the most use and benefit from the centers:

Classroom Management: Write students’ names on a copy of the Class Record Sheet
(page 10) and post it near your pocket-folder centers storage container. Then, whenever
students complete their assigned centers, they can check it off on the chart. They can also
check the chart to see which centers they still need to complete.

Differentiation: Fill in students’ names on the Class Record Sheet. Cross out the
centers that individual students do not need to complete—either because they are not
ready for the skill or they have already shown competence in it. Post the chart and have
students mark the box for each assigned center that they complete.

Assessment: Both the centers and the practice pages can be used as quick and
engaging informal assessments. Simply observe students at work with a center. Ask them
to think aloud as they make decisions about their responses. Or check their work when
they have completed the center and practice page to determine their level of success with
the skill. You might use the results when conferencing with students about their progress.
If desired, use the Class Record Sheet (page 10) to keep track of students’ progress by
simply recording a plus (+) or minus (–) to indicate whether they have mastered the skill
or need additional instruction or reinforcement.

 What the Research Says
To become proficient in math, students must be able to understand and meaningfully
apply their factual and conceptual knowledge in different settings and situations. According
to NCTM, in its Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000), “A major goal
of school mathematics programs is to create autonomous learners, and learning with
understanding supports this goal. Students learn more and learn better when they can
take control of their learning by defining their goals and monitoring their progress. When
challenged with appropriately chosen tasks, students become confident in their ability to
tackle the difficult problems, eager to figure things out on their own, flexible in exploring
mathematical ideas and trying alternative solution paths, and willing to persevere.”

Meeting the Math Standards

Connections to the Connections to the NCTM Math Standards
McREL Math Standards The activities in this book are also designed to support you in meeting the
Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning following standards for Grades 2–3—including process standards, such as
