Transcript Using Math Stations to Meet Students Needs
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.
