• Group time organization-assign students to groups and front load the directions for small group and station tasks
• Rotating station work-60 minutes broken up into 20 min chunks.
• Station 1: Teacher table-we dig deeper and complete the worksheet, reteaching or extending as needed. (BONUS-I grade the papers as we go!)
• Station 2: Notebooking-students add the INB pieces to their notebooks and work the math included
• Station 3: Game of the day with a recording sheet (sometimes I even send these home for homework so parents can see how much fun their kids are having learning about 4th-grade math!)
