Establishing clear expectations for interactive math workstations in your classroom is essential for effective learning. Begin by brainstorming with your students what these workstations should “look like, sound like, and feel like.” Collaborate to create a classroom contract displayed on chart paper. Designate 6-8 purposeful workstations with small groups, complemented by an “I CAN” list for each station. Incorporate math journals for reflection and provide question stems to facilitate engagement and discussion. Engage students in meaningful math experiences that encourage collaboration and learning.

Presentation Transcript
Set Expectations *Set expectations for your workstations *Brainstorm with your class what workstations “LOOK LIKE, SOUND LIKE, FEEL LIKE” *Create a contract together on chart paper to display for them
Workstations with a Purpose *Workstations are a review of a concept already taught *Ideally 6-8 stations with 2-3 students per station *Time Frame (K-15 minutes, 1st-2nd 20 minutes)
Workstations with a Purpose *When introducing a new workstation create an “I CAN” list with your class for each workstation to help them remember and place it inside tub. *Label your tubs with name of the activity
Workstations with a Purpose *Students should have a MATH JOURNAL when going to workstations; writing should be taking place during Math time (i.e., write number words, create and draw patterns, write number sentences, create word problems, etc.)
Workstations with a Purpose *Have “question stems” to help students engage in conversation regarding the activity if needed (i.e. How did you get that answer? How did you do that? What strategies did you use to solve the problem?, etc)
