I am writing about math journals for 2 reasons: first, because I just had conferences and I was able to use my math journals to show student work, growth, and areas for improvement. We do math journals at least twice a week for morning work, and it is always a choice at the math daily 5. Journal prompts range from story problems to missing part problems, how many of each? problems to true/false problems. My kiddos have gotten so good at showing what they know! The thing I love the MOST is the sharing aspect of journals- everyday, my kids share what they wrote and how they solved it. I have my kiddos in pairs, we created a poster on math talk, and we are on a roll!
The second reason I'm writing is to show my April/May journal prompts that I just posted to TpT, and I would love to give 2 copies away tonight! The first two comments get these prompts free! :)
If you want to check them out on TpT, click the pic!
A quick freebie for my K pals (good early 1st grade review and intervention, too!) - this was a customer request and thought I'd share :)
Thanks for the freebie! I have done math journals in the past and it was really fun to do with the kids. Also, Calendar Kids. My kids love both!

Aaaaah I love these prompts! These would be perfect with my kiddos and could be differentiated easily. I have actually been brainstorming about how I want to do math journals next year, so I appreciate this post!
