My 5 MUST HAVE Math Stations

[@SoroushTorkian]

Here's a brief summary of the key points: Math by Myself: Students work independently at their desks on activities such as worksheets or textbook questions related to previously learned math skills. They can ask for clarification from peers but not answers. Digital Math: Students use websites like Mathletics and Splash Math to practice math concepts. These digital platforms are helpful for individualized learning. Math Game: Mariana uses various math games that align with the current or previous math units. Students can play individually, with partners, or in a whole group, depending on the game. Math Books: Mariana has a bin of math-related storybooks and resources that students can read individually or with peers. These books reinforce math concepts and provide a different perspective on the topic. Math with the Teacher: This station allows Mariana to work with small groups of students. She sometimes groups struggling students together for extra support. She starts with basic questions and gradually challenges the students based on their performance. Some additional details: Mariana's math stations last for 10 minutes each. She uses a digital timer and a slideshow to manage station transitions. She has a special helper who assists with resetting the timer and managing station rotations. For assessment, Mariana uses a simple checklist system, noting correct answers with slashes and mistakes with dashes in a notebook. Mariana also mentions her interactive math notebooks available on TPT and a free ELA schedule on her website for teachers interested in her resources. Overall, Mariana's approach to math stations involves a mix of independent and collaborative activities to reinforce math skills and concepts in a structured and engaging manner.

You are such a blessing! I’ve been watching all of your videos!

[@3peaksclassroom]

I love hearing that - thank you!!

I love that you have daily 5 math rather than 3 groups, this is by far more managable! A very helpful video that will help guide me as I start math stations and small group with the teacher. The random accountability is great too - thank you !

[@3peaksclassroom]

Thanks for the comment Lindsay - and I agree - if the students aren't sure when I'll be collecting something, it keeps them accountable the whole time, but reduces my marking workload.

I love your video. It is very detailed and informative. I watched so many videos to implement Math stations in my class. But truly speaking, your video is the Best! I am doing ela stations in my class and found your ela schedule informative too. Once again, thank you for sharing math stations with easy to implement techniques and strategies. Love from the UAE.

What a fabulous comment - and love all the way from UAE is amazing! Thank you! I’d love to hear more about your classroom and stations! :)

Thank you for sharing and helping teachers build their Math Center and Literacy Centers. (Kingdom blessing)

Love this idea! I was wondering if you would be willing to share some of the titles of the math books you use? I’m also a fellow grade 3 teacher in AB! Thank you for all the work you do on Instagram and TPT and KZbin!

[@3peaksclassroom]

Hey! Absolutely! I will definitely film a YT video about my favourite math books!

[@amykmart]

JUST discovered you and this is the best New Year's gift to myself ever! After a 25 year "hiatus" from teaching, I am finding myself overwhelmed at every turn. I'm determined to succeed, though, and I am feeling energized and encouraged by these wonderful videos! Just need to get used to the British spelling of "favorite" - LOL

[@3peaksclassroom]

What a wonderful comment to read on the first day of the New Year! Thank you for joining - I have lots of videos scheduled to come out this year so I’m excited to have you join the adventure.
