Based on the resources provided by the Cobb County District K-5 Math Coaches
Building a Bridge:Building a Bridge:Reading and Math Reading and Math InstructionInstruction
From the article by Marilyn Burns
Talk at your table: What does good math instruction have in common with good reading instruction?
To With By
What types of lessons would I see in a balanced mathematics classroom?
Direct instruction?Whole group / mini-lesson?Independent practice/workstations?Cooperative learning?Conferencing?Assessments?
So, what exactly is Guided Math?
Fill in your frayer with discussion from your tablemates.
HEY!
Create: A Numeracy-rich Environment
“As Students see numbers and math related materials throughout the classroom and participate in real-world, meaningful problem solving opportunities, they see the connection between mathematics and their own lives.”
Success with guided math…Step one
What is Guided What is Guided Math?Math? Defined: Guided Math is
one component of a balanced mathematics program that includes students learning in small flexible groups based on instructional level and students working in appropriate standards-based workstations.
Daily Math Rap
15-20 Minutes
Review and Practice of the GA
Performance Standards
Hook/Activator
10-15 Minutes Whole group standards-based

Work Time
35-45 Minutes
•Small group lessons, re-teach &/or extension•Conferencing•Collaborative
problem-solving•Workstations•Manipulative discovery and connections
Summary 5-10 Minutes •Review important concepts•Reflect
Total Time 75 Minutes
What does What does Guided Math Guided Math look like?look like?
Includes: Small group focused, differentiated lessons with the teacher
Workstations based on the standards
Students working independently, in groups, and/or with teacher
Teacher formally and informally assessing student progress
A part of math instruction 2 or more days a week
What is the teacher doing?Teaching a group.
- Differencing instruction- Understanding thinking- Assessing
Floating: Allow yourself to be free to facilitate the student’s work and engage students in meaningful conversations about what they're learning.
It's a great time to: take anecdotal notes; work on-on-one with students who are struggling
(academically or socially, because you'll have the time to help solve disputes and model social problem solving skills)
challenge high-achievers who are easily bored model logistical thinking and encourage discussion
(connecting words and math is difficult for many students); assess children individually in a meaningful scenarios provide regular math fact practice in a fun way kids will look
forward to
Management• Numeracy-rich environment
Whole group and small group rules and routines
Teacher accountability plan
Student accountability plan
Lesson planning Think how you note differentiation in guided
reading? Discuss with your table how you could do that
with your math plans.
Guided practice in small groups –tiered lessons (with)
Group I
(Each group 15 minutes)
Group 2
Group 3
Lesson Plan: Mini-lesson: (10 minutes)
Standard/Essential Question:
Connections to past learning:
Explicit Instruction (TO):
Student Work Time Independent practice or workstations “By”
These are the groups who are expected to work independently (15 minutes)
Independent practice:The practice to follow up the guided group work with the teacher – it could be a workstation activity or a relevant workbook/teacher created work page.
Workstation(s): activity to practice “standard to be maintained” or to build fluency
•Collaborative activity•Game•Problem solver•Computer work
Review and Share (5 – 10 min.)
Getting Started:Getting Started:
How do I set up my How do I set up my groups?groups? Initially based on the Pre-IMI Analysis by standard
Group according to analysis of standards not the total missed
May have 2-4 groups
Groups can/should change regularly based on changing student understanding
Guided Math Guided Math WorkstationsWorkstations Set up around the room on desks, tables,
or bulletin boards (remember technology)
Put in tubs and placed on students’ desks
Based on concepts to maintain and/or concepts to learn
Should access all levels of Bloom’s
Guided Math Students Guided Math Students . . .. . . Keep work in progress in a
folder
Keep a record of which workstation they complete
Place any finished products in their workstation folder or station basket
Are accountable for keeping up with workstation work, recording the completed workstation, and producing quality work
Guided Math Teachers Guided Math Teachers . . .. . . Set up standards-based workstations based on
student need
Lead whole group discussion about the workstations at least once a week
Develop a system for recording what the students are doing in the workstations
Set expectations for behavior and routines
How do I get started How do I get started with workstations?with workstations?
Decide on workstations: GPS concepts to maintain Practice of skills being taught Using Multiple intelligences Fluency building activities
Be sure the workstations are authentic, standards-based activities and not “busy work”.
Create a planning system and a student log
Ideas for Ideas for WorkstationsWorkstations Technology: Smartboard,
computer sites, First in Math
Standards-Based Games: card games, dice games; homemade or store-bought
Problem Solving: “Story problems”, Logic problems, Problem-Solving Deck, Tiered problem solving from Think Math
Math Journals/Notebook activities
Fluency Building Activities: timed tests, flash cards, etc.
Guided Manipulative Exploration: geoboards, measurement, base ten blocks.
Brainstorm some ideas for
workstations from things you already have . Be ready to
share!
Math Journal Quick Writes Discussion Understanding Check: -Thumps up, thumps down -Final Countdown, 3-2-1, Ticket out the Door Review and answer essential question Math Chair or “Hot Seat”: -Could use sample math journal
prompts for students to respond to Connect learning to the essential question and
standard
Summarizing Summarizing the Lessonthe Lesson
Remember: model, model, model!
Remember to … Model workstation activities as part of mini-lesson or in small group.
Remember…Students need lots of time to master the rules of a game so they can focus on the math skills, determine patterns and strategies, and engage in higher-level thinking discussions.
What Now?What Now?
Decide on rules and routines
Set up groups
Create a schedule
Develop accountability form
Plan group and mini-lessons
Design workstations
