The Summer Math Centers for Kindergarten contains a collection of 15 activities intended for use in centers and small groups with children in Kindergarten (Prep).
Each activity includes a center label that can be printed and placed on the front of your storage device. Also included are “I can” center instructions to help children remember what to do. I have included a recording page at the end of each activity in order to have evidence of each child’s work.
