math workshop
Much like Readers Workshop, Math Workshop is a time for me to work with students individually and in small groups about the different math concepts we are learning this year. When not working with me individually or in a small group, your child will be practicing our math concepts by him or herself or with a partner.
Each day, I will start off with a whole group Math lesson focusing on Math vocabulary and strategies for each concept we are working on. Children will then have a Math version of Daily 5 to complete while I meet with small groups or individuals. Your child will choose from a Math Menu of choices in which she or he can continue to practice the skills we've worked on previously and can build on new skills.
This allows children to practice math independently while also meeting with me individually or in a small group to work on Math at their ability level.
