8th grade Task Rotation for Fractions and Volume
This is a task rotation for my intro chapter to 8th grade math. I do a combination of fractions and geometry formulas. Give each station roughly 10 minutes to work on each problem. For station 3 it might help to pre tape the two cylinders to cut down on that time for students and to give them more time to work.
