Math Stations

This needs to link back to:

1.  How do you (or will you) differentiate your math stations? Fast finishers can do activities such as chess.  I want to develop more things for students to do when they test out or are done.

2.  How and where do you keep your math stations? Crates, and I have these cool presentation binders that I received from a DonorsChoose grant.  A presentation binder is a notebook that stands up.  You put directions in sheet protectors, and the students follow the directions and assignment.

3.  How do you keep your math materials organized? Closets and filing cabinets.

My First Blog Post!

I am joining the Math Centers blog.  I know most teachers are in the primary grades, but I want to use math centers in my 5th grade class.  I have presentation binders that I want to fill with directions for various subjects, and have my students use them in centers next year.

I will be starting my 11th year teaching this fall.  I have only taught 5th and 6th, and Mrs. K loves teaching fifth grade!
