Using Math Stationsto Enhance Content Spiraling and Student Math Talk October 2014
Learning Goal from September PD FLASHBACK
Learning Goal Success Criteria Develop a station action plan Implement purposeful standards-based math stations • Apply knowledge of spiraling mathematical curriculum when designing mathematical stations
When I Say Math Stations… Management Small Groups Standards Activities Frequency Materials Differentiation Observation
Definition in your own words? Math Stations What do you expect from your students? What is the role of the teacher? What it is not?
Where to Start? • Set up your routines • Set up a classroom of numeracy • Establish your groups (based on data) and activities
Set up your routines • Classroom Spaces and Places • Classroom Movement (transitions) • Manipulative Usage • Expectations for Cooperative Learning (Kagan Structures & Marcia Tate Strategies ) • Calm Signals and Check in • Norms • Discussion
Math Stations Looks Like Sounds Like
Set Up a Classroom of Numeracy Whole Group Area Small Group Instruction (Teacher Station) Math Workstations Area Organization & Storage of Manipulatives Problem of the Day (Daily) Math Word Walls Calendar Board Student/Class Created Charts
Set up your groups • CUM Folder Study • DEA/FCAT • Pre-assess (Formative) • Groups can/should changeregularly • Data based (Mid-chapter/Chapter Assessments, Informal, Formal)
Ideas for Workstations • 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 Standards-Based Stations
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.
