Many of these stations have been designed as an assessment tool for the objectives of the new curriculum. However, teachers may choose to use these as introductory activities, practise activities or centre activities.
These stations lend themselves well to the adaptive dimension of the Core Curriculum. See The Adaptive Dimension in the Core Curriculum available in all schools. The document can be ordered from the Book Bureau (#1655). Changes can be made to the context or to the level of difficulty to adapt to the individual needs in your classroom.
Similar stations can be created by using activities from textbooks and other resources. Binders that accompany manipulatives are an excellent source of ready-made activities.

This is an excellent way to add interest through content. Station #2 Fuel Consumption Guides are available from Transport Canada. Renew each year to show current data. Station #3 Collect materials that have data to help students with ratios. Fertilizer often has ratios. Station #7 Most newspapers have a weekly section of real estate ads.
