• Learning Goal

• Success Criteria

• Apply knowledge of spiraling mathematical
  curriculum when designing mathematical stations

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

Definition in your own words?
Math Stations
What do you expect from your students?
What is the role of the teacher?
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

7
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

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

10
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
  Childrens Mathematics, FSA.
• 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

Standards-Based Stations

Now What
14
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.
