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 Algebra I Station Activities for Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills has proved so popular—Student learn to apply algebra concepts, employ problem-solving strategies, communicate with one another, and reason through to the answers while working together.
This book contains 24 sets of activities across eight topics: Number and Operations, Equations, Inequalities, Systems, Quadratic Equations and Functions, Polynomials, and Data Analysis. Each set consists of four different stations where students work in small groups, moving from station to station once their activities are complete.
Includes 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.
