2024 RISE Conference

When teachers are pulling small groups what effective things are students doing independently or in their own collaborative learning groups? How can we capitalize on the time students spend working independently or in small groups? Research suggests that students in Grade 3 through 5 have an attention span ranging from 14 to 33 minutes. We can maximize student learning by providing short small groups that engage students in rich and rigorous tasks to complete. We can also maximize student learning styles through providing a time for students to get up and move, use technology, work independently, and collaborate with peers. In our session we will explore Math Center Stations that help to accomplish a blended learning classroom through Teacher Led Stations, Using Technology (online stations), Stations without Technology (offline stations), Partner Practice, and Independent Differentiated Stations. We aim to provide teachers with resources that are easy to use, can be differentiated, and are standards based.

We will provide teachers with resources to begin using in their own classrooms.
