Common CoreStandards , EQ/EU’s, SMP Focus & Vocabulary Words All of these areas are present within the
unit planner Have these elements posted as they are
reviewed/introduced to students
Morning Sponge/Problem Solving Problem of the day would be ideal for
this area.
Gotta love this resource!

Examples: Mathematical Current Events Math-Related Classroom Responsibilities Use of website links in unit planner as a “hook” Number of the day “What’s the use?” Classroom Example
Mini-Lesson PRIMARILY teacher directed BRIEF, no more than ten minutes Could be used at beginning to set the
tone and introduce concepts to be explored
Could be used at end to summarize learning that has taken place
Whole Group
• When most students are on about the same instructional level for a math concept;
• Introduction of a new series of lessons with an activating strategy to generate interest, enthusiasm, and curiosity;
• Use of literature to teach a math concept;• Review of previously taught and mastered
skills to ensure maintenance• Preparing a class for cooperative group work;
providing common knowledge about requirements
• Some assessments…
Small Group/Guided Math Groups/Math Workshop
Similar to Guided Reading/Math, but composition of the groups may be more fluid
Homogeneous, flexible grouping by level of achievement
Requires assessment to determine each student’s level
Provides scaffolding to support the learning efforts of students
Encourages exploration of math concepts in a risk-free learning environment
Maximizes the benefit of co-teaching
Small Group/Guided Math Groups/Math Workshop
Students work independently, in pairs, or in groups
Procedures and routines must be established and practiced
Activities should provide opportunities for exploration or practice of mastered skills
The work need not be related to the work being done in small groups
