1st Grade Math Journal - Daily Math Practice for the Entire Year - Math Talks

This 1st grade math journal will save your math block, your sanity, your time--you name it! Mess-less, stress-less, and (almost) paperless! A year's worth of math journal prompts will engage your students, make them think creatively, and have fun! The text is 100% editable so you can customize it to best meet the needs of YOUR classroom.

Prompts are organized to cut down on teacher direction-giving time during the busy math block. The electronic nature of the prompts creates a COPY-FREE product for teachers! The left side of the screen is a simple math prompt and the right side of the screen features an example layout of a student notebook. Students simply respond to prompts daily in their math journals by copying the example layout on the screen.

Math prompts are included in 3 formats so you can choose which one is best for your class and curriculum timeline:

• Unit By Unit These prompts are organized in folders by unit, so you can utilize the prompts as you teach each topic (for example, use only fraction prompts during your fraction unit)
• Google Slides-NEW!!

• Spiral Review This document contains all 200 prompts in one file; the prompts rotate between the 8 units so students are exposed to and strengthen various skills year-round (this is the bonus file). In the spiral review, Weeks 1-6 are all Kindergarten review so students can get used to the journal routine and set-up without also being introduced to new content. Weeks 7-40 are rotating skills (for example, one week might be (Monday) Place Value, (Tuesday) Addition, (Wednesday) Time, (Thursday) Fractions, (Friday) Subtraction).

Each math journal slide is number-coded to correspond with a skill key so teachers can look at any student journal page and quickly identify the skill and its content.

THE BEST PART?! This journal pack is almost 100% editable to fit your classroom. ALL text is editable so you can:

• Change names in prompts to match your students’ names
• Change numbers in prompts to differentiate OR reuse the same prompt in a different way
• Change the slide title if you choose to use this as a small group activity rather than a math journal

No whiteboard? No problem! You can easily print prompts as is and display them 1 week at a time in a math journal station!. OR: I've added a new print + glue version students can paste right into their journals.

Included in this bundle, you will receive:

• 40 weeks of unique prompts (200+ altogether!) (Available in PowerPoint, Google Slides, PDF, or print-friendly versions)
• Math Journal Cover (fits any standard-sized spiral notebook; comes in color and black & white)
• Directions for classroom implementation, tips for editing, and more!
• A key that corresponds to all 200 prompts’ codes so you can quickly assess student understanding throughout the year
• Math Journal Station bulletin board pieces (pictured in preview)

This math journal is ideal for 1st grade but might be able to be used in other grade levels depending on your students.
