Why should we analyze our mathematics programs? 78% of adults cannot explain how to compute the interest paid on a loan. 71% cannot calculate miles per gallon on a trip 58% cannot calculate a 10% tip for a lunch bill Phillips, G. 2007 (And this college student should have had $16,000!)

reach students at all levels of achievement provide diverse methods of learning allow more opportunities for observation and communication by students encourage active engagement by students empower students 9 To more effectively teach math, we must

Slide 11

All children can learn mathematics A numeracy-rich environment promotes mathematical learning Learning at its best is a social process Learning mathematics is a constructive process An organized classroom environment supports the learning process Effective math programs include number talks, modeling, think alouds, and purposeful conversations Effective math programs empower students with responsibility for their learning The Foundational Principles of Guided Math Adapted from Principles of Guided Reading developed by Fountas and Pinnell

Slide 12

Turn and Talk Talk to your shoulder buddy about how math is taught in your building (think about the differences in classrooms & grade levels). Are these components part of the math instruction? ____ whole group instruction ____ mini-lesson ____ debrief ____ small guided math group ____ workstations

Slide 17

Guided Math Stations: Generally, there are four rotations: 1)Teacher table 2)Independent work 3)Center/Games 4)Online Interactive Practice

Slide 18

Teacher Table Guided Math Stations This is where the teacher will do direct instruction on the concept from the core program, model it, and allow for the students to practice with guidance in their small ability groups.

Slide 19

What are the benefits of small groups for that core instruction? Gives children the chance to develop their own strategies for solving problems. Supports differentiated instruction. Fosters student articulation about a problem. Provides opportunity to assess each students needs.

Slide 20

Guided Math Core Lessons What math program do you presently use? A.enVisionMath B.Everyday Math C.A collection of CCSS Resources D.Other

Slide 21

How can your current program be delivered in a guided math format?

Slide 22

My districts math program is aligned with the CCSS. A.True B.False

Slide 23

Lets Explore Core Math Resources bit.ly/isdmath Math Core Lessons

Slide 24

How could those resources support your current instruction? In what standards does your current program fall short?

Slide 25

Lets take a 10 minute break. Next well take a look at resources for Establishing Flexible groups.

Slide 26

Establishing Flexible Groups Students can be grouped based on their mastery levels of goals/objectives, skills, concepts or strategies being developed.

Slide 27

Flexible Grouping Students move in and out of groups based on need. In geometry Parker could be in group 1 and in measurement he could be in group 5.

Slide 28

What formative assessment resources do you have to establish your flexible groups?

Slide 29

HOW DO I SET UP THE GROUPS? BEN SCREENERS BENCHMARK TEST QUIZZES INTERVIEWS CHAPTER TESTS TEACHER OBSERVATIONS bit.ly/isdmath Assessing Resources

Slide 30

Analyzing Student Pre-Test Grade student pretest Sort into four groups or stacks with like errors. These become the math groups. Group 1

Slide 31

Create your own Formative Assessments with Inspect Itembank 50,000 CCSS items are already banked Working on performance items that are Smarter Balance (like) Depth of Knowledge and Blooms Taxonomy are noted Add on cost is$1.50 per student

Slide 32

What formative assessments will you use to set up your flexible groups?

Slide 33

Independent Work Students often complete the lessons paper pencil task in this rotation. What might students do when they finish? Guided Math Stations

Slide 34

Im done.what should I do now? Fact Fluency (flash cards, fact triangles, Xtramath.org, digitwhiz.com) Vocabulary Station Math Literature Math Journals What will students do when they finish their independent work station?

Slide 35

Lets Explore Fact Fluency Websites bit.ly/isdmath Fact Fluency Practice Websites

Slide 36

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. The duration of each center is up to the teacher (typically 15-20 minutes per rotation). Lets look at an implementation where the classes use enVisionMATH.

Teachers Role During Guided Math Analyze formative and summative student data to plan for instruction and flexible grouping Develop a system for tracking student learning Use a new approach and strategies to teach small group instruction Set up standard-based work stations with a focus on problem solving Conference with students individually Acts as facilitator

Slide 39

Students Role During Guided Math Work in small groups at different work stations and/or with teacher Understand the guided math schedule Are accountable for producing quality work Demonstrate responsibility.

I use a SMART Board within my classroom. A.True A.False

Slide 47

Using a SMART Board as a Station When trying to access premade SMART board activities, SMART Exchange is your best resource. You can search by subject, grade level, keyword, etc. A lesson is put up on the board for small groups of students to be interactive with it.

Slide 48

What will you use for a technology station during guided math? What could be integrated if a technology station is not an option?

Slide 49

Ideas for Workstations Technology (computer games, iPad tasks, calculators, SMARTboard activities) Fact Fluency Station (flash cards, Xtramath.org, digitwhiz.com) Games Problem Solving Station Place Value Station (Base ten manipulatives) Measurement Station Manipulatives: geoboards, tangrams, Vocabulary Station Review and Practice Station Math Literature Math Journals

Slide 50

Centers/Games Station Games can be collected and housed for students to choose from? Must the game relate to the days standard? Guided Math Stations

Slide 51

Lets Brainstorm Game and Center Ideas What games/centers might you use?
