Beginning of Year Math Rules and Procedures Stations

These stations are exactly what you need this year for back-to-school math activities in your middle school classroom. The editable stations will give you a way to teach your rules and procedures to your students in an engaging way as they rotate between stations.

The first few days of school are critical to getting your classroom running smoothly for the entire year. This short investment of time at the beginning of the year allows you so much more time for teaching later because your students understand your classroom expectations.

These stations are editable, so you can customize them to fit your classroom. They are also provided in digital or printable formats. These stations will keep students actively involved as they rotate around the classroom, rather than a long lecture about the rules. You can pick and choose which stations are appropriate for your classroom. 

You could set aside a day for students to complete these stations, or complete one or two as a class each day.

Here is what you will get:

✅12 stations including Setting Up Your Math Materials, Labeling Your Supplies, Classroom Rules, Growth Mindset, Getting to Know Your Group Members, Getting to Know Your Calculator, Classroom Syllabus, Classroom Setup, Homework Expectations, Grading Policy, What are the characteristics of a successful student?, and What are the characteristics of a good teacher?, and Google Classroom setup.

✅Parent/family letter explaining classroom procedures

✅Blank station included so you can create your own station

✅All text left editable to customize
✅Printable stations provided in color or black/white

This will save you so much time at the beginning of the year when life is crazy!

Here is what other teachers had to say:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Deborah H said, “Love this idea! Going over the syllabus, procedures, rules, etc. is so boring, yet so important! This is fun and engaging! I like that you can edit it to your needs.” 

This is provided as a PowerPoint so that it is editable. If you do not have PowerPoint but are still interested, email me jenny.wilcox@gmail.com. The PowerPoint includes a link to download the Google Slides version.

Note: Some preparation is required to enter your own rules and procedures to use these stations.
