#station-rotation

Structure a 60-minute math lesson using the station rotation model. Three Stations (20 mins each): 1. Teacher-led Station: Small group (5-6 students) receives direct, targeted instruction based on recent formative data. 2. Collaborative Station: Students work in pairs or small groups on a hands-on activity or challenging word problem. 3. Online Station: Students work independently on adaptive learning software (e.g., Zearn, Dreambox) that adjusts to their skill level. Management: Use a timer and clear visual cues for rotations. Start and end with brief whole-group instruction. Benefits: allows for differentiation, combines teacher instruction with peer collaboration and personalized tech.
