I put my students in groups so that I had at least one high, middle, and lower student in each group. This is so when I pull them at my center the other groups are not as large. It seemed to go well so far. Here is an example of what activities I am doing. I also send home weekly math activities so I may have the center activities be older math homework so it will be less prep. Even if I don't double dip the prep is very minor compared to me making 5 different centers every other week. Once again, I am only taking 10-15 minutes three times a week with these centers.

Here are the timing myself activities- I borrowed the stopwatches from our PE teacher-
Timing Myself- Time yourself three times and record to see if you are faster!
1. Time yourself counting by ones as fast as you can in 30 seconds.
- I got to number ___________ ____________ ___________
2. Time yourself counting by 5’s as fast as you can in 20 seconds.
- I got to number ___________ ____________ ___________
3. Time yourself counting by 10’s as fast as you can in 20 seconds.
- I got to number ___________ ____________ ___________
4. Time yourself counting by 10’s backwards from 100-0 as fast as you can.
My time was ___________ ____________ ___________
5. Time yourself counting backwards by ones from 100-0 as fast as you can.

If you would like the race to 200 game or the number order sheet please email me and I will get you a copy if these links do not work.
Both the 99-120 number order and the race to 200 template was created by katie King.
