Math Station #12 Teacher Station
Taking time to meet with students is the most crucial part of making the math stations work. Kids can engage in activities all the time and never understand the concept. Therefore in the teacher station, the goal is to reinforce or build upon what they learned in the activities. I would suggest using games similar to what the students played in pairs that could also be utilized in a group setting, manipulatives such as connecting cubes, as well as worksheets to find out what kids know and what they do not know. Once you know the skill level of each student, you can formulate a game plan towards successful learning. Below I have a possible assessment to use during a teacher station taken from http://thankgoditsfirstgrade.blogspot.com.
