STATION ACTIVITIES FOR COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS: Middle School Series, Grades 8 (G5827WW) $31.00


   ABOUT THE SERIES:
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 Mathematics Station Activities for Common Core State Standards 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.

   Each book contains multiple sets of activities for each of the five strands: Ratios and Proportional Relationships; the Number System; Expressions and Equations; Geometry; and Statistics and Probability. The activities consist of four different stations where students work in small groups, moving from station to station once their activities are complete.

    Station-based activities give students multiple opportunities to develop their understanding. At the same time, they give teachers the chance to circulate, do informal assessments, and provide individual or small-group instruction as needed. These activities were developed and piloted as part of a summer school program that boosted student performance by an average of 37%, with some classrooms’ average improvement as high as 89%.

  •  15 minutes per station followed by a debriefing discussion
