Lesson Plans
In this module, students will be introduced to and develop an understanding of the purpose and expectations of the four stations they will rotate through during the program.
- Small Group Instruction Station: teachers engage students in intervention and extension activities in small groups as they further develop their learning.
- ST Math Station: students play ST Math puzzles at their own pace as they work towards mastery of the content.
- Table Games Station: students will continue to build their understanding and flexibility with numbers as they play various games of skill and strategy.
- Design Challenge Station: lays the groundwork for building their own math game as students develop an understanding of the engineering design process (in the 5-Day Summer Immersion).
