My teacher friends over at Sunshine Sand and Scissors and I are teaming up at our school to teach a book chat regarding Debbie Diller's new book Math Work Stations. We are uber excited about helping our fellow classroom teachers enter the world of using work stations to teach math. We already have some wonderful ideas to share but we are always on the lookout for more.
I have been perusing blogs and have found several that have great ideas linking common core standards to the math work station approach; however, I am wondering if there are any more out there that I have not discovered yet. Especially any addressing the intermediate grades. If you know of any awesome blogs, websites, links, ideas, etc. to help us with the book study, please share! We would love to check out what you have found.
Also, I am sure we will keep you posted as well regarding the status of our book talk either through my blog or through theirs. We already have some great work station ideas circulating in our brain to help teach common core standards. We just have to find the time to make them (I know no one else has this problem, huh?).
Thanks in advance for any help!
Happy Blogging!

I posted a linky party and lots of links to winter math work station freebies that I found today. You can find them below.

I also posted some of the great links I found when other bloggers were doing the book study this summer. You may have already seen it, but if not, I'll link below.

LOVE the idea of a blog book study! I am JUST beginning math work stations on Monday. I can't wait to chat and bounce ideas with you all! Sharing with other kinder-pros is a blessing! --Holly
ReplyDeleteHolly, that is awesome! It will be good to hear how math work stations are going with other teachers.

I love the Math Workstations book! Implementing it into my classroom this year has really changed my instruction and my students LOVE it! Hope you're having a great weekend so far!
