Standards-Based Stations

• Technology: Neo 2s, Computer, I-pads, Laptops, i-Ready, Think Central, Clickers

• Standards-Based Games: Card Games, Teaching Children’s 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

Now What…

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.
