180 First Grade Math Journal Prompts- Common Core Based

Are you looking for a way to spice up your math lessons? Students need many opportunities to write in mathematics and math journals can help you do just that! Journaling can be done as a review, warm-up, independent work, closing, or homework activity.

These math journal prompts are a great way to motivate reluctant students and strengthen their love for math while deepening their understanding of these very important skills. These prompts require students to organize, clarify, and reflect on their ideas. These particular math prompts are a great way to challenge young students minds.

You can check these prompts out by clicking on the picture below. You can also download a preview with 10 free prompts.

Two years ago I created 180 Kindergarten math journal prompts for Kindergarten and have had much success using these prompts with my own Kindergarteners. They love to pull there journals out at the beginning of our math lesson each day. They look forward to using their math journals and discussing their thinking with their classmates.

180 Kindergarten Math Journal Prompts- Common Core Based

Are you looking for a way to spice up your math lessons? Math journals can do just that! Math journaling has become quite popular. I am always looking for ways to improve my math teaching. I wanted to incorporate math journals into my teaching last year, but just never got around to it. This year will be much different! I have created 180 common core based math journal prompts- One for each day of the school year!

I plan to use math journals at least three days a week if not more. I also use poetry notebooks/journals (post coming soon on this) in my classroom as well as science notebooks/journals. I like to set my journals up the same way- Kindergarteners need consistency!

I will be using composition books. I set them up like this:

Students either place the label prompt or a paper cut-out of the prompt on the left hand side of their journal. They date their journal at the top (I am all about having my kindergarteners date their own material- Anything and Everything they do!!!). All of their work will be shown on the right hand side.

Here is an example:

I am very excited to start using these journal prompts this upcoming school year. These 180 journal prompts are available on my  TPT and Teachers Notebook stores.

If you would like to "try before you buy" you can download 25 of these 180 prompts by clicking on the picture below.

If you would like to share how you use math journals in your classroom I would love to hear all about it!
