My Math Group started Math Stations this week. I have to say they are going GREAT! I teach the intervention group and am SUPER lucky to have a para that pushes in for Math! Since my group stays on task and actively engaged for only about the first 10 minutes of a whole group lesson, Math Stations give me the perfect opportunity to do small group lessons! I have 2 students at each station. (I conducted a Debbie Diller book study on her math stations book with 2 of my colleagues last year. I am now in love with Math Stations!) I have 8 stations, but there are duplicates so I only have to plan for 4. (#1 and 5 are the same, #2 and 6, etc.)
Here were our stations this week:
1. Ways to Make 5 Cookie Jar
 |
| The cookies are laminated. The paper is in a page protector. The students manipulate the cookies, write how many are in the jar, out of the jar, and how many there are all together with a dry erase marker. I don't remember where this came from. If it was you, let me know! |
2. Apples to Ten Sort

4. Roll and Color

My Roll and Colors can be found in my Apples Everywhere Math Unit.

We also complete 2 more Science Investigations. We do an investigation for each of the five senses. For Sight, we did an Oreo Investigation.
Let me tell you they were SUPER quiet, hard workers for this investigation. I guess Oreo Cookie bribes can do that to the best of us!
We also did a Hearing Investigation. They shook 5 containers (old film canisters) and made a prediction about what was inside. There were bells, rice, cotton, pennies and paper clips.
Check our our super cute Science Folders!
The folders are regular pocket folders from a Back to School Sale. The picture is from a science sticker scene from Oriental Trading. Students keep all of their science papers in them. At the end of a unit I will take them all out, staple and send home!
I hope you found some useful ideas! Happy Saturday!
