Math Anchor Charts

I absolutely love anchor charts. Having a visual up for my students to remind them of the strategies we are using in math really helps them and I constantly catch them looking over at them.

• Math anchor charts are visual aids that help students to understand and remember key concepts and skills in mathematics. Here are some reasons why teachers should use math anchor charts in their classrooms: 

•  Visual learning: Many students are visual learners, meaning that they learn best when information is presented in a visual format. Anchor charts are a powerful tool for visual learning as they use graphics, diagrams, and illustrations to make concepts more engaging and easier to understand. 

• Promote retention: Anchor charts can help students to retain information by providing a visual reference point that they can refer back to when needed. When students can see and interact with the information, they are more likely to remember it. 

• Encourage participation: Anchor charts can encourage participation and interaction in the classroom. By using sticky notes or other interactive elements, students can add their own thoughts and ideas to the anchor chart, making it a collaborative tool for learning. 

• Scaffold learning: Anchor charts can be used to scaffold learning by breaking down complex concepts into smaller, more manageable pieces. This can help students to understand the big picture and see how different concepts are related to each other. 

• Support differentiation: Anchor charts can be used to support differentiation by providing different levels of information for students with different levels of understanding. By creating different versions of the same anchor chart, teachers can provide support for struggling learners and challenge more advanced students. 

• Increase engagement: Anchor charts can make learning more engaging and fun for students. When information is presented in a visually appealing and interactive way, students are more likely to be interested and engaged in the learning process.

I created these math anchor charts for my classroom but could be used for any upper elementary grade level depending on your math targets and standards.

My primary teachers would like me to create anchor charts for their grade levels so be on the lookout for those this summer! (K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th coming soon!)

Here are a few anchor charts. All anchor charts come with step-by-step directions on how to print them based on your size preference. You can also buy them individually. Click HERE to see the preview in my store for more information.
