It is impossible to rely on simply teaching students a formula to answer math problems anymore. My students often learn at varying paces; therefore, not all students will master a concept at the same time. Therefore, switching to a Guided Math, in conjunction with Math Workshop teaching style will better serve my students. With this new style of teaching, students will participate in a whole-class mini-lesson, before breaking into station rotations. They will be separated by level of understanding, according to their unit pre-test scores. This allows for students to be rotated or moved to different groups by lesson or unit. Manipulatives are a powerful tool for supporting classroom assessment. Manipulatives are concrete objects, that can be viewed and physically handled by students, in order to demonstrate or model abstract concepts. From flash cards to geoboards, all of the materials on my "wish-list" will allow my students to better understand and master all 5th grade standards. During guided math, each student will receive small group, need-specific instruction with me, with manipulatives, followed by independent/partner work time. Students are engaged at all times in mathematics practice, and concepts are reinforced daily in stations. Students are motivated by the rotation, and manage themselves with little need for teacher interruption.
