The first step in creating leveled math workstations is to identify the skills that you want students to practice. This can be done by reviewing the curriculum and identifying the specific skills that students need to master. You can also use the following resources to identify skills:

Gathering a variety of activities

Once you have identified the skills that you want students to practice, you need to gather a variety of activities that cover those skills. These activities can include:

Leveling the activities

The next step is to level the activities by difficulty. This can be done by considering the following factors:

Creating a system for students to choose and complete activities

Once you have leveled the activities, you need to create a system for students to choose and complete activities. This system can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. One way to create a system is to color code the activities or label the activities with different levels. You can also create a chart that lists the activities and their corresponding levels.

Monitoring student progress

It is important to monitor student progress to ensure that students are completing activities at the appropriate level. This can be done by observing students as they work, collecting student work samples, and administering formative assessments.

Making adjustments as needed

As you monitor student progress, you may need to make adjustments to the leveled math workstations. This may include adding new activities, removing activities, or changing the level of an activity.

Leveled math workstations can be used to differentiate instruction in a variety of ways. Here are a few examples:

Leveled math workstations are a valuable tool for differentiating instruction in mathematics. They provide students with the opportunity to choose activities that are appropriate for their skill level and work at their own pace. By using leveled math workstations, teachers can ensure that all students are challenged and engaged in their learning.
