Learning Stations are a great way to differentiate your instruction so that you can remediate your struggling students while still pushing your stronger ones. You can target every student in the room, fill gaps, give as much practice as needed, and allow each learner to progress at his/her pace. Click these articles to learn more about what a learning station is, or why you should use them in your classroom.
The downside is that Learning Stations can take time to build. That’s why I have premade them for you.
Each learning station pack comes with 24 resource to build three similar learning stations on the same skill. Each learning station includes the following:
- 3 Reteach Worksheets
- These worksheets are designed to teach the student the skill. Critical thinking skills and guided practice are utilized within each worksheet.
- 3 Practice Worksheets
- Each worksheet is front and back, designed to reinforce the skill by offering lots of practice.
- 3 Maze Worksheets (Extension Activity)
- A fun way to practice the skill while still getting immediate feedback. Each worksheet guides students through a maze by correctly answering the skill.
- 3 Matching Activity Worksheets (Cut and Paste)
- Students cut out solutions and paste them on the worksheet next to the corresponding question. A great way to have fun while practicing the skill and getting immediate feedback.
- 3 Color by Numbers Worksheets (Extension Activity)
- A fun way to practice the skill while still getting immediate feedback. Each worksheet comes as a blank grid, as students correctly solve questions they know what color to fill in each square to reveal the mystery picture.
- 3 Student Tracking Forms
- These are designed to help the student know which activity to do next as they progress through the activities to obtain mastery. One is filled out with online links, and one utilizes only the resources in this packet in case you do not have access to technology in the classroom. You can see it in the Preview video
- Pennants to Celebrate Student Success
- One is in color, the other is black and white so that students can fill out. View it in the preview video
- A document with 10 links to online tutorial videos
- These are links to tutorial videos that you can send the student to for help with their reteach, or use in the classroom as reinforcement
- 3 Quizzes
- Short quizzes to measure whether or not your student has mastered the skill and is ready to be progressed. If they have not, they can move on to the next set of activities on the skill (provided).
