Station Activities Mathematics, Years 6-7

This book includes a collection of station-based activities to provide students with opportunities to practise and apply mathematical skills and concepts. It contains five sets of activities for four strands: Number and Operations; Geometry and Measurement; Algebra; and Data Analysis and Probability. Use these activities in addition to direct instruction lessons, or, especially if a pre-test or other formative assessment suggests it, instead of direct instruction in areas where students have the basic concepts but need practice. The debriefing discussions after each set of activities provide an important opportunity to help students reflect on experiences and synthesise thinking. It also provides an additional opportunity for ongoing, informal assessment to inform instructional planning.
