Overview

If you've ever questioned how to make math stations work, you'll find this photo—filled, idea—packed resource invaluable. This book extends Debbie Diller's best—selling work on literacy work stations and classroom design to the field of mathematics. In Math Work Stations you'll find ideas to help children develop conceptual understanding and skills, use math vocabulary as they talk about their mathematical thinking, and connect big ideas to meaningful independent exploration and practice.
