Sit Spots not just for sitting and a giveaway

Hello!! Can I just say I LOVE my sit spots. Yes these are excellent for placing spots on the floor for the kids to sit. They do not come up when the custodians vacuum. They come in such a variety of colors and designs. They are amazing. Here are my sit spots on my carpet for my first graders to sit upon.

My sitspots are the shapes in four different colors. Now to write the kids names on them just write it with a permanent marker if you do not want to reuse or I found that by using a label maker you can put it on the spot that way and it stays better then masking tape.

My kids love these!!!

Then I thought wow these would be awesome to use interactively in math with the kids. So I called Joyce of Sitspots, who is absolutely amazing may I add, and asked her if we could create something to use in my Guided math. I wanted to do ten frames. So the idea was discussed and we came up with the strips of black and I asked for circles in two different colors. May I just say once I cut the strip to the sizes that I wanted and created my ten frames on the carpet, oh my, the children went bananas. They absolutely loved it! I then cut the strips to create a number sentence shell beneath the two ten frames. This was exactly what I was hoping for. An interactive math center using sit spots. Here are my kids with the interactive ten frame!

Here is the ten frame and the number
sentence shell! I made number cards
to fill in the sentence on yellow copy paper

Here is the bucket with the yellow and black
sitspots for the kids to put in the ten frame!

                                                 

Here they are in the center. They are to roll a die and
place the correct number of yellow circles in the ten frame.
Then roll the second die and place that many black circles in the
ten frame. They then read the ten frame and create
a number sentence that represents the ten frame!

Here are my kids interacting with the ten frame!

They love this center!

Not only can you use it for ten frames and number sentences but you can use it to create graphs and much much more!
