1. Cut out ten shamrocks of each color in the rainbow. I laminated them for durability. There is no need in making the center if you cannot save it for next year. **Tip - laminate the construction paper before you cut the shamrock to save time.**
2. Write your number patterns on the shamrocks. Each color gets a different number pattern. This is what my set looks like at this point.
3. You need a blank rainbow for the students to use as a recording sheet. I got one from a teacher resource book. You can find them in coloring books or clip art.
4. Make a guide sheet to help your students know what order to put the colors in on their recording sheet. I laminated this as well.
5. Make a copy of the blank rainbow for each student.
Now, your center is complete and ready to use!
While at the center the student will:
1. Put all the number pattern in order.
2. Record the number patterns on the blank rainbow.
This is what the finished product looks like...
From my classroom to yours,
