2011's Top Three Most Viewed Blog Posts Linky Party!

I just love linky parties. Fern Smith is hosting a linky party that has everyone sharing their top 3 posts for 2011.

I started my blog in June of this year, so would that make my top 3 the
" Best of 1/2 of 2011?"

This is a flip book that is created over time with students to help them remember their multiplication facts because of patterns. My post shows a copy of each page.

This picture shows part of a chart that I made while reading Debbie Dillers book, "Math Stations." I was trying to show teachers that they could prepare their students to use centers and teach math each day too. We use the math program, Everyday Math, so activities from that program are mentioned. It could be used with any math program though.
