Math WORK Stations in the Learning PIT

Today the students were assigned a math WORK station in the Learning PIT based on their strengths and needs with regards to the topic of Prime and Composite numbers.  This allowed their work to be differentiated and for students that need more support to receive assistance from either Mrs. Lapico or myself.  Each student worked at one of the following stations:  Teacher's Station, Practice Plaza, or Proof Place.  When completed they went into "The Shop" where they were to play a Prime and Composite board game and/or work on math games on the computer, for extra practice.  I have included the links below, so that they may access them from home and continue to practice.  As they have all discovered, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THEY KNOW THEIR MULTIPLICATION FACTS, or else they will have a difficult time with the concept of prime and composite numbers.  Each student is encouraged to practice this daily, regardless of any other homework that they may or may not have.  Thank you for your assistance in this matter!                                                             

  Here are the links to the games!  Enjoy!
