Last year I published my Math Stations on Teachers Pay Teachers to share with other teachers what worked well in my classroom and help you to start them in your own. In each Math station activity I have included six different stations for students to work independently or with group members.
Math stations can be a wonderful and engaging experience for all students. The independent and group learning that takes place helps students to make Math connections and take ownership of their learning process.
If you're not sure where to start and need help getting Math Stations going in your Middle School Math classroom, then I recommend first using the Middle School Math Stations 101 Guide. Putting into practice the math station activities in my classroom was an easy and seamless transition. My students scored higher on tests and my principals always loved seeing these in action in the classroom. {Check out the comments section where other teachers have noted their principal's excitement about using Math Reading Stations in their classrooms too}. I recommend using these materials in your classroom and adapting them to meet the needs of your students. In this packet I offer additional activities and ways for you to make Math stations applicable to you and your students. First and foremost this is a system that works and can be made to work in your classroom too!
This product has tips for organizing and managing Math station activities in your Middle School classroom. It also explains how to get started, where to problem solve, chart student success, and many more strategies to help you make Math stations work for you.
