Description
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. That’s why Station Activities for Texas Mathematics have proven so popular—middle school students learn to apply mathematics, employ problem-solving strategies, communicate with one another, and reason through to the answers while working together.
The book contains 17 sets of activities focusing on: Number, Operation, and Quantitative Reasoning; Geometry and Spatial Reasoning; Measurement; Patterns, Relationships, and Algebraic Thinking; Probability and Statistics. The activities consist of four different stations where students work in small groups, moving from station to station once their activities are complete.
-
- 17 sets of activities, each with 4 separate stations
-
- 15 minutes per station followed by a debrief discussion
-
- Correlated to Texas Essential Skills and Knowledge ( TEKS), complementing any math program
-
- Uses readily available materials and manipulatives (not included)
Includes teacher support with discussion guides with 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.
