At This Station Kids Will... sort and graph colored bingo chips. From a dish of purple, blue, green, red, orange, and yellow bingo chips students will place the chips in the corresponding jars. Once they have sorted all of the chips they will graph the colors on the graphing sheet.
Differentiation: This station is differentiated for both English speakers and Spanish speakers. Students who speak spanish and are struggling with English will be able to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts because the recording sheets are written in both English and Spanish. Struggling students can work in pairs to make the activity easier and to stimulate mathematical thinking.
Formative Assessment: While walking around you will hear students talking about how to sort the bingo chips and see them sorting them and graphing them.
