Math doesn’t have to be boring with these January Math Centers for First Grade! Get your students engaged, talking and practicing previous skills with fun, themed centers activities.
I have 4 math centers in my classroom:
- Hands On – Hands on is where I use these seasonal math center sets
- iReady Math/Technology – We are required to do iReady Math each week, if they pass 1 lesson per day they get Fun Friday Technology on Friday. They can do Prodigy, Splash Learn, etc.
- Fluency – They practice their addition and subtraction fluency with various games. We love War, First to Finish, and Sums Up just to name a few. You can read about building fact fluency here.
- Math Journal – At Math Journal they complete 1 page of their journal that correlates to our current skill. They turn this in daily for me to do a quick check in with where they are independently. When they complete 1 page, they can work on unfinished math work or they have a bin of various math puzzles and games.
What Skills Are Covered?
These January Math Centers for First Grade cover 10 different skills:
- Even and Odd Numbers
- Represent Numbers in Base 10

What’s Included?
Each January Math Center for First Grade is low prep and comes with everything you need to play. The only thing I would suggest adding is manipulatives that correlate with what you use in whole group or small group lessons.
Each center activity comes with an instruction page that is first grade friendly with real photos from that center, a recording sheet, an answer key, and all of the pieces you need to play.
Each center pack comes with a storage label and a standards alignment chart.
