Summer Reading

Now that school is over for the summer - I may will have time to read!  This book is on the top of my pile of books to read.

I love the idea of using math stations, but have honestly been at a loss in finding activities that were suitable for 7th grade, so when I saw this book on another blog I immediately added it to my Amazon wish list, and promptly purchased it after a few days of thinking about it.  My kiddos loved hands on activities last year, and I think math stations will be a big hit next year!

What is on your reading list this summer?

2. What else do you notice about these statistics?
