Mathematical Practices and Motivating Students



I am linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for my first #mondaymadeit. I am updating and changing the colors (not my pink area) in my classroom this year and so I wanted to make new posters for my room.

I have been working on these off and on all summer and I am so excited to finally finish them.... I went to all of the craft stores and got rockin scrapbook paper. I printed the math practices on legal size white paper and then framed them in black paper and scrapbook paper.  They are 12 by 18... I wanted the posters big enough to see across the room. I went to our county office of education and laminated them today. Even though I am not that crafty, I think they turned out cool.... :o)

I made the the big posters to go above my board at the front of the room and coordinating little "I can" posters to hang vertically on my whiteboard.

These are the big CCSS Math Practices Posters:











 These are the coordinating "I Can" mini posters:




This is a poster I made to motivate and encourage my students.

    OUTSTANDING work with your posters! I especially love the one you made to hang by your desk and the one that students see as they enter your room. Your creative work sends empowering messages to students. Way to go!

      Thank you... Along with verbal praise, I believe that words on the wall are a visual way of motivating and encouraging students... :o)

      The borders are actually scrapbook paper. I printed the words then glued them on black construction paper.... Then on scrapbook paper....
