Math Centers

The connection between the three boxes that I saw was measurements. All the boxes had something that you had to measure. They all also naturally incline themselves to be Incorporated with science standards. For example, scientific measurements, instruments, and making estimations. Although these are math as well it is a good concept to be Incorporated into science concepts. The whole two birds with one stone thing. The centers were a very open activity and some of the direction unclear. I'm sure if a teacher was introducing the lesson to younger students they would give examples and model. I guess teachers needs models sometimes too : ) The lesson also related to derived facts because in some boxes you used what you knew about one object to arrive at the solution to another.
