Using

Math

Stations

to Enhance Content Spiraling and Student Math Talk

October 2014

Learning Goal from September PD

Learning Goal

• Apply knowledge of spiraling mathematical curriculum when designing mathematical stations

Success Criteria

• Develop a station action plan • Implement purposeful standards-based math stations

When I Say Math Stations…

Management

Activities

Standards Frequency Differentiation

Observation

Definition in your own words?

Math Stations What it is not?

Where to Start?

 Set up your routines  Set up a classroom of numeracy  Establish your groups (based on data) and activities



Set up your routines

• Classroom Spaces and Places • Classroom Movement (transitions) • Manipulative Usage • Expectations for Cooperative Learning (Kagan Structures & Marcia Tate Strategies ) • Calm Signals and Check in • Norms • Discussion

Looks Like Math Stations Sounds Like



Set Up a Classroom of Numeracy

• Whole Group Area • Small Group Instruction (Teacher Station) • Math Workstations Area • Organization & Storage of Manipulatives • Problem of the Day (Daily) • Math Word Walls • Calendar Board • Student/Class Created Charts



Set up your groups

• CUM Folder Study • DEA/FCAT • Pre-assess (Formative) • Groups can/should change regularly • Data based (Mid-chapter/Chapter Assessments, Informal, Formal)

Ideas for Workstations

• Technology: Neo 2s, Computer, I-pads, Laptops, i-Ready, Think Central, Clickers • Standards-Based Games: Card Games, Teaching Children’s Mathematics, FSA.

Standards-Based Stations • Problem Solving: Problem-Solving • Math Journals • Fluency Building Activities: Timed tests, Flash cards, Accelerated Math, Reflex Math, IXL, Moby Math, etc.

• Guided Manipulative Exploration: Geoboards, Measurement, Base tens etc.

• Math and Literature

Now What…

Wrap Up • Create an action plan to implement stations that include spiraling and student talk into your math block at least twice a week over the next month.
