Algebra Centers

My elementary students get a kick out of doing algebra! Each time I tell my students we will be working on algebra, they get excited. For Valentine's Day, I made two quick centers to play with algebra. I also made each center in both valentine theme and basketball theme so that we can use it again as a review in March. These centers lend themselves easily for small groups, independent work and great for pair shares.

Elementary Algebra Math Centers

The Equation Writing Center contains 16 word problem cards and one answer key. Each card has a word problem than can be solved with an algebraic equation. Students have to choose which equation will provide the answer. This is a much different skill than just giving an answer. My students love being challenged with what they call fun math. Students can use in small groups or independently.
