Math Stations

Last week the class was slowly introduced to our math stations: teacher time, assignment station, and game/partner work.  We worked on a "Math About Me" project to learn about teacher time and assignment station.  The students began to learn a few math games to practice cooperative work expectations with a partner.

The students rotate through all 3 stations during our math block at different times.  
I love using this approach because it allows me to see small groups of 4-6 students instead of teaching a lesson to the whole class at the same time.  It gives me the chance to differentiate the instruction when needed and give support to those students who may initially struggle with a new skill.  They have done fantastic with our stations!
