Middle School Math Card Sorts - Grade 6

Do you want your students to deepen their understanding? 

What are your students struggling with in math?


Getting students from struggling to mastery doesn't happen over night. Growing their understanding is a process. Card sorts are a great activity to get your students thinking about the why's and how's of the math. Students make sense of word problems and the steps to solve them.    


Middle School Math Card Sorts


Having students work with partners on card sort activities helps create math talk. When students are verbal about math, they are better able to sort through their understanding and draw a conclusion. The card sort picture above is of an sixth grade sort called Integer Cut and Paste Activity. Students start with a problem and work through all the information provided. The goal is to get students to find and solve integer problems. The process in getting there is broken down into manageable scaffolded steps for students. Students have to find the opposite of the integer in the word problem. Students then create a number line to show the value of the integers. Each card sort activity goes through the process of math discovery to mastery. The lesson units are intended to help you assess how well students are able to understand each grade level standard. 

Included in each lesson are:


  • Directions, grade level common core standards, and mathematical practices
  • Formative assessment (pre-test) task

  • Card sort activity with concept development 
  • Extension activity for students to deepen their understanding
  • Summative assessment (post-test) task

  • Answer keys for all the assessments and activities

Get your students thinking and mastering more math concepts this year. Engage your students in a math sort to deepen their understanding. Students can work independently alone or in groups to accomplish the tasks. Watch as your students go from struggling to mastery of math.

    6th Grade Middle School Math Stations

    Do you use Math Stations in your classroom?

    Do you want to help your students review in a meaningful way?

    Do you want to engage your students in the Math content?

    I was hesitant at first when I started using Math Stations, but quickly found out how valuable they are!

    Math Stations (also called Math Workshops) is a system of different types of activities in the classroom for the students to complete based on the same topic. I have created the 6th Grade Math Stations BUNDLE to cover all of the Math topics related to grade six and also cover all of the sixth grade common core standards.


    These Math Stations activities are helpful to students in that they review concepts, practice Math, apply Math, and read about the Math in the real world. There are many different ways you can use these stations as they are versatile for the teacher to pick and choose which ones you want to use on any given day. If you already use Math stations in your classroom these can complement your set with additional practice and applications for students to review Common Core Standards.

    This Middle School Math Station Bundle is a COMPLETED BUNDLE covering ALL 6th grade Common Core Standards! 


    Included are the following Math Stations:

    There are many different ways to incorporate the math stations in your classroom. I have used book bins (from Lakeshore Learning) to keep them organized and easily accessible for the students.

    This is a great resource for your students to be actively engaged in the learning process. Students gain self-confidence and own their learning process when they are given the chance to work independently on Math Stations. Students are always asking "when is math station day?" That's a great feeling to know your students enjoy the learning process and want to work independently at school. 

    Happy Teaching!
