Add It UP
Directions: Create teams of four. Choose an Add It Up
problem from the binder that best matches your grade
level. Each team member can choose a problem to
complete. When all members have finished, add up all
four answers and write the sum in the center. Please let
us know you have completed the task by raising your
hand.

Learning Intentions
Strengthen the level of student engagement in common core aligned activities that promote student centered learning.
Learn how to apply stations, games, and tasks to build student’s procedural and conceptual understanding.

Binder Set Up
Your binder is set up into five main sections
• 1. Tasks
• 2. Stations
• 3. Games
• 4. Extra Goodies (Top three game changers, Tape diagrams & Probability)
• 5. Resources

Lost Your Marbles
Directions: Travel to each station and solve each problem with a
partner. Each partnership has one marble for each question. Put
a marble in each cup when you answer the question correctly.
Travel throughout the stations in numerical order. Answer each
problem before checking your work with the answer key. Also,
when you check your work, use the following key to self-assess.

Lost Your Marbles
Benefits :
* You instantly see how many students are on track
* Each question is a quick snapshot of student’s thinking
*Cups that are empty or have few marbles for correct
answers need more attention
*Students work at their own pace
*Students take problems home that are similar to the
learning targets so they know what they need to study
*Peers do not see who gets the questions right.

It’s in the Bag
Very similar to “Lost Your Marbles” except…
You see student’s work and know who is struggling and who is on target.
Students only keep the problems
that they need help on.

Two of a Kind Directions:
Find a partner and decide who will be Partner A and who will be Partner B. Both partners should only solve problem #1. Please compare answers once both partners are done.
Partners share their problem and discuss how they solved it. Students should discuss similarities between the two problems.
If partners have different answers, help each other find the error(s).
You may continue solving each problem at a time but should not continue onto the next problem without your partner.

Two of a Kind Benefits *Can be used for a partner station, game, or parent-student homework.
*Can be leveled to meet each student’s need-You can pair like ability together or different abilities together and match ability with the correct problems
*Students practice giving their peers the “think time” needed.
*Students critiques the work of others.
*Students compare differently representations and see multiple problem solving methods

My Favorite No One of the biggest changes we have added to our classroom this
year has been our work on discourse. This is one of our small
changes that has made a BIG difference.
Student Goal: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of
others. (CCSS Math Practice Standard MP3)
One idea that we used came from watching this video on “My Favorite No.”

Tangram Task
Directions: You will be demonstrating your ability to
write and reason in math. If all seven tangram pieces equal one whole-you need to figure out what fractional part each piece represents. You should be
able to tell exactly what you did to solve the problem
and what you know. You should also prove that your
answer is correct. You can use diagrams, phrases,
equations, or sentences.

Top 3 Game Changers Of all of the new things we have tired or worked on over the
years, the three that have had the greatest impact on have been:
1) Math Talking Stems
2) My Favorite No
3) What Stuck With You?
If you try anything from our presentation,
we strongly recommend these three things!
