560-math stations

As previously discussed, the mathematics standards have outlined several shifts in teaching mathematics. Educators are shifting their instructional practices to include constructivist, inquiry-based, and student-centered strategies that increase rigor in terms of critical thinking and problem-solving. These strategies intend to prepare students for the skills (i.e., communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity) they need to be successful in college and careers in the 21st century as well as help them understand math in a conceptual and meaningful way.

Grouping students for instruction and activities is an important concept to consider when promoting communication and collaboration skills in students. For this assignment, complete the “Student-Centered Math Stations” template. You will group students using the "ELM-560 Class Profile" and then create four student-centered stations that align with K-8 mathematics standards related to measurement. Each station needs to promote critical thinking and collaboration and at least one station should provide an opportunity for inquiry-based learning.

Support the assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources.
