  1. Guided MathA Framework for Mathematics Instruction

  2. Foundational Principals of a Guided Math Classroom • All children can learn mathematics • A numeracy-rich environment promotes mathematical learning by students • Learning at its best is a social process • Learning mathematics is a constructive process • An organized classroom environment supports the learning process

  3. Modeling and think-alouds, combined with ample opportunities for guided and independent problem solving and purposeful conversations, create a learning environment in which students’ mathematical understanding grows • Ultimately, children are responsible for their own learning

  4. Guided Math:A Menu of Instruction

  5. Daily: Creating a Classroom Environment of Numeracy A classroom where students are surrounded by math: real life math tasks, data analysis, math word walls, instruments of measurement, mathematical communication, class-centered math charts, graphic organizers, calendars, and evidence of problem solving. Guided Math: Sammons, 2010

  6. Daily: Math Warm-ups This daily activity prepares the brain for the day’s objectives with quick practice, daily routines, problems of the day and data work. Guided Math: Sammons, 2010

  7. Your Choice: Whole Class Instruction An excellent teaching strategy when students are working at the same level of achievement, to introduce lessons with an activating strategy, for real alouds of math related literature, to review previously mastered skills, as preparation for work in cooperative groups, or for paper and pencil assessments. Guided Math: Sammons, 2010

  8. Your choice: Small Group Instruction Students are instructed in small groups whose composition changes based on students’ needs. The individual preparation for these groups offers opportunities to introduce new concepts, practice new skills, work with manipulatives, provide intensive instruction to struggling learners, introduce activities that will later become part of math workshop, conduct informal assessment, and reteach based on student needs. Guided Math: Sammons, 2010

  9. Your choice: Math Workshop Independent work by students either individually or in pairs, Activities should provide exploration, investigations or practice of mastered skills. (This is a great time to use your Math Expressions activity cards.) Guided Math: Sammons, 2010

  10. Daily: Formative Assessment Formal or informal assessment that guides instruction. Observations of students’ work discussions with students, and assessments of finished products give valuable perspectives on capabilities and needs. Students should also be involved in assessing themselves. Students can use graphs to self assess. Guided Math: Sammons, 2010

  11. An Example Schedule:

  12. How do you prepare the students? • Procedure!! Procedure!! Procedure!! • Front load your students with what you expect from them. • Practice, model, and revisit every procedure. • Time spent on procedure will be worth it!!!

  13. How do you create tasks or learning center activities? • Math Expressions Task Cards • Math Tasks by Van De Walle • Folder Games • Manipulatives • Math Vocabulary • Computers

  14. What are Features of a Good Task?It challenges the learners to think for themselves. • It offers different levels of challenge. • It encourages collaboration and discussion. • It requires justification. • It has the potential for revealing patterns or leading to generalizations. • It invites children to make decisions. • It begins where the students are.
