Have you been introduced to Math Stations? Do you use independent math activities with your students? Are your students in need of independent and group math work? {Click HERE to download} When I first heard about these I was hesitant to start using them in my classroom because I thought it would be time consuming making all these station activities. I have great news, I've created a NO PREP set and would love to share it with you! Math Stations (also called Math Workshops) is a system of different types of activities in the classroom for the students to complete based on the same topic. I have created the 8th Grade Math Stations BUNDLE to cover all of the Math topics related to grade eight and also cover all of the eighth grade common core standards. These Math Stations activities are helpful to students in that they review concepts, practice Math, apply Math, and read about the Math in the real world. There are many different ways you can use these stations as they are versatile for the teacher to pick and choose which ones you want to use on any given day. If you already use Math stations in your classroom these can complement your set with additional practice and applications for students to review Common Core Standards. This Middle School Math Station Bundle is a COMPLETED BUNDLE covering ALL 8th grade Common Core Standards! {Click HERE to download} Included are the following Math Stations: Math Stations: Real Numbers Math Stations: Exponents & Scientific Notation Math Stations: Proportional Relationships Math Stations: Non-Proportional Relationships Math Stations: Writing Linear Equations Math Stations: Functions Math Stations: Linear Equations Math Stations: Solving Systems of Linear Equations Math Stations: Transformations & Congruence Math Stations: Transformations & Similarity Math Stations: Angle Relationships in Parallel Lines & Triangles Math Stations: The Pythagorean Theorem Math Stations: Volume Math Stations: Scatter Plots Math Stations: Two-Way Tables This resource is a means of practice and review for all the 8th grade standards. Students' scores excel and they enjoy independently working with their classmates on the different tasks. This can be a great activity for your students to be engaged in the learning process. Students gain self-confidence and own their learning process when they are given the chance to work independently on Math Stations. See what teachers are saying about math stations, "The 7th grade teacher at my school has the 7th grade bundle, and LOVES it! So I had to get the 8th grade bundle for my class! I cannot wait to use these resources!" -Andrea "Had bought the first unit and loved it. Can't wait to use these throughout the year." -Gwen "Love this for a review!" -Riki There are many different ways to incorporate the math stations in your classroom. I have used book bins (from Lakeshore Learning) to keep them organized and easily accessible for the students. I also have a FREE math stations bin labels HERE for download. Happy Teaching!
