Start with your grade level and a brief title to let people know what the activity is. Then in this area you can type the directions, provide a link, picture, etc. ]]> 2017-01-30 18:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150339571 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150534899 Coin Rubbings
1.  Place the paper on the top of your penny (or the coin)
2. Hold the paper down and tub the side of the crayon across the coin.
3. Flip the coin over and make a rubbing of the other side,

What do you notice about the coins?]]> 2017-01-31 14:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150534899 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150534945 Students play by looking for matches using addition. Game also comes in subtraction and multiplication. ]]> 2017-01-31 14:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150534945 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150536815 Students roll dice to try to find ways to make one number using the numbers on the dice.]]> 2017-01-31 14:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150536815 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150536833 1.  Bend the twist tie or pipe cleaner and insert each end into a straw.
2.  Connect more straws to build shapes and structures.
Can you make a square? A cube?]]> 2017-01-31 14:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150536833 kltolliver https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150536876 We have two games we used to practice finding factors and simplifying with the GCF. One game required them to make a fraction with math cards (2 digits over 2 digits). Then with partners, students had to list factors and simplify the fraction and record their numbers on a recording sheet. The pair to simplify their fraction first wins all the cards. The second game used a game board. Students roll a die and find the GCF of the two numbers on the space they land on. ]]> 2017-01-31 14:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150536876 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150537311 Students play in small groups a baseball game purchased on TPT. Depending on their level they can play addition, subtraction, or multiplication.]]> 2017-01-31 14:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150537311 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150538333 1.  Trace the shapes from the Pattern-Block Template onto the paper.
2. Try making an animal, a robot, or an imaginary creature.]]> 2017-01-31 14:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150538333 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150538339 Students pick a domino and have to write a number sentence for it. Could be used for addition, subtraction, or multiplication.]]> 2017-01-31 14:41:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150538339 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150539564 1. Use the rubber bands to make shapes on the geoboard.  First try a square. ape a different size? Then make a triangle.  Now try a different type of triangle.
2.  Try making other shapes.  Can you make a circle ?  A hexagon?
3.  Try making the same shape]]> 2017-01-31 14:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150539564 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150540504 Students have to match analog clocks with their digital times.]]> 2017-01-31 14:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150540504 kltolliver https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150541721 Can be used for a variety of skills/topics. Students get a set of cards and work together to discuss the problems and record their answers on a recording sheet. We typically go over their work together afterwards. ]]> 2017-01-31 14:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150541721 kltolliver https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150543061 We have used fraction bars and circles to identify fractions, compare, find equivalents. ]]> 2017-01-31 14:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/150543061 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/154315442 2017-02-16 14:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/154315442 https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/154321310 Theme Based Stations]]> 2017-02-16 14:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/mathstations/wish/154321310
