Personal Review: Shoe Box Math Learning Centers: Forty Easy-
to-Make, Fun-to-Use Centers with Instant Reproducibles and
Activities That Help Kids Practice Important Math Skills--
Independently, Grades 1-3 by Jacqueline Clark
This book contains 40 great different activities that you can put together
into shoe boxes and set as learning centers for elementary kids. Although
it is aimed at kids between 1st and 3rd grades, some of the games can be
played by kindergarteners and with some adaptations you can also use
them with 4th graders. For every game, it contains reproducible labels and
student directions. It gives you a detailed list of the materials that you
should put inside the shoe box and it also gives tips of variations to adapt
the games to different objectives.
For most of the games, you only need everyday materials, like toothpicks,
beans, play dough, number cubes, domino pieces, buttons, crayons, coins,
yarn, magazine cutouts, etc.
When I assembled the learning centers, I found out that most of them can
be placed in smaller containers than shoe boxes. As a matter of fact, I
used photo storage boxes for the most part (you just make sure to
reproduce the copies in the proper size). Instead of putting the crayons or
pencils inside the boxes, I placed some cans with crayons and pencils in
the center of the station, and kids can use them with any activity. The rest
of the materials required (except for the play dough and the marshmallows
required for a couple of games) can fit into these smaller containers.
Some of the skills reviewed are skip counting, addition, subtraction, place
value, making number stories, patterns, time, money, measurement.
If you like having your kids play games while learning, you will love this
book!
