The research is in: students make sense of mathematical problems best when they work in small groups, with hands-on experiences that echo real-world situations.

Contains 20-30 sets of activities across several topics. Students work in small groups, moving from station to station every 10-15 minutes, using readily available materials and manipulatives (not included) and concluding with a class discussion to crystalize learning.

Station Activities include teacher support with discussion guides (prompts to encourage reflection and synthesis of ideas, suggested appropriate responses, and a listing of common errors and misconceptions identified in current research), answer keys and material lists.
