Summary

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 Mathematics has proved 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 five sets of activities for each of the four strands: Number and Operations Geometry and Measurement Algebra Data Analysis 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. Teachers are now not teaching at the students but working among them, encouraging them, mentoring them. 3 books, one each for grades 6, 7, and 8 20 sets of activities per book, each with 4 separate stations15 minutes per station followed by a debrief discussion Correlates to NCTM
