Having students keep track of their Math facts doesn't have to be hard. There are some organization tools you can use to help your students master their addition facts. Let's look at the process of learning math facts for mastery.

Addition Flash Cards


Practicing with flash cards helps focus on small math tasks.

    Middle School Math Stations Grades 6, 7, 8

    Have you used Math Workshops or Math Stations in your classroom?

    Are you looking for the Best Math Stations to use with your students?

    Do you want your students to work independently and practice key math skills during class?


    The Best Math Stations (Math Workshops) are easy to implement, versatile and differentiate three levels of Math. As a teacher you need math stations to help your students practice and apply many different math skills. Included in these station sets are Math Vocabulary, Math Practice, Math Applications, Technology/Computers, Reading Math in the Real World, and Math Word Problems. Directions are written at the top of every station with a Math Station guide for the students to write their answers on. Your job just got easier, because ALL the answer keys are included for quick grading. This is the perfect classwork assignment for students to complete and finish in one class period!




    Get students engaged in math this year. Review key middle school math skills and facilitate your classroom with math station activities. 

    Included are the following Math Stations:

    *Grade 6:

    *Grade 7:

    *Grade 8:

    Included in all Math Stations activities are the lesson plan directions for setup, Common Core Standards addressed, and answer keys for all Math problems. When I implemented Math stations I saw my students have math concepts reinforced which resulted in higher test scores for my lower achieving students. It helped make connections to other math concepts, to math in the real world, and practical applications of concepts that may seem only theoretical in the classroom. Math stations are an engaging and self-motivating activity. All middle school students love math stations (math workshops) because they are in control of their learning process. 


    Teacher Meredith said, "I was intimidated to start math stations with my middle schoolers, but this made it easy and they like it!"

      8th Grade Middle School Math Stations

      Have you been introduced to Math Stations? 

      Do you use independent math activities with your students? 

      Are your students in need of independent and group math work? 


      When I first heard about these I was hesitant to start using them in my classroom because I thought it would be time consuming making all these station activities. I have great news, I've created a NO PREP set and would love to share it with you!


      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 8th Grade Math Stations BUNDLE to cover all of the Math topics related to grade eight and also cover all of the eighth 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 8th grade Common Core Standards!


      Included are the following Math Stations:

      This resource is a means of practice and review for all the 8th grade standards. Students' scores excel and they enjoy independently working with their classmates on the different tasks. This can be a great activity for your students to be 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. 

      See what teachers are saying about math stations, 

      "The 7th grade teacher at my school has the 7th grade bundle, and LOVES it! So I had to get the 8th grade bundle for my class! I cannot wait to use these resources!" -Andrea

      "Had bought the first unit and loved it.  Can't wait to use these throughout the year." -Gwen

      "Love this for a review!" -Riki

      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.

      Happy Teaching!
