Get your students geared up for another great school year with these 5 "back to school" themed math centers. The centers are designed to touch on important math concepts that are typically taught at the beginning of the school year. The centers are in full-color and each have a recording sheet to show student work.
These 5 centers include the following skills:
1) Representing Numbers: Student work through 3 sets of cards reading numbers in either word, digit, or expanded form.
