What are Math Menus?
If you have ever heard of choice boards, math menus are very similar. And like choice boards, there are a ton of different ways to structure them and use them. Here is how I set them up:
Why Math Menus?
Math centers used to be my all time favorite thing. They had so many great benefits for students. But the one thing that always discouraged me was the time constraints that came with math centers. If each center was 10 minutes, that meant I only had 10 minutes with the group in front of me.
The Benefits of Math Menus
One of the main reasons I switched to math menus was because there are less time constraints. Another reason I love math menus is for student choice. Within the Must Do items, students can decide what they do first.
Try it Out!
Overall, math menus have supported my desire for a student centered classroom. The basics of math menus that are described here is still a workshop model, just with no time constraints! While I work with a small group I can be confident that students will not be coming over and asking what they should be doing.

You can print them all at once to allow students to work on the menu of their choice or introduce them systematically in a Menu Math Center to keep it fresh and engaging all year long.
