Math bulletin boards are a great way to show everyone in school the fun and educational things you and your students have been accomplishing during your math block.
Fact Flowers
All I can say is yes to this one! Kiddos love Fact Flowers. Even better, there are 5 versions included! Go with the plain flower for students who need a little differentiation and want to add the math facts. Or use one of the pre-made flowers for low prep and ready-to-go math work. There are additional facts 1-10, addition facts 1-12, double-digit addition with no regrouping, and double-digit addition with regrouping. This makes the perfect springtime bulletin board to show off all of those math understandings. Plus, the letters are included to finish off the board with “Grow Your Math Fact Fluency!” Here is the link to this one!
