With growing class sizes, one-on-one teacher instruction is becoming a luxury of the past for public school classes. Despite this, my students learn most effectively when given personalized feedback and differentiated lessons. Regular small group learning allows my students and I this precious time to address and alleviate misconceptions and clarify mathematical understanding. I plan to make our small group, teacher-led instructional zone the core of mathematical learning in my classroom. While other students are engaged in math workshop practices strengthening previously acquired skills, I will lead a small group of students in discovering new content. To create a small group zone where students can work with me on newly acquired math skills, our classroom needs several basic supplies. Students will use the stacking stools to sit on while working in the small group zone. This separate seating will allow students to step away from their regular desks to focus on interaction with their teacher and a small group of other students. The dry erase decal will be used to transform my teacher desk into an accessible student workspace. This workspace will allow for easy teacher and peer feedback. Students will use the dry erase markers and calculators at the small group zone for practicing mathematical skills under teacher supervision. Students will work in this small group zone with me to receive direct, differentiated instruction at least once every week. The whiteboard surface, markers, and calculators will add interactivity to our discussions and allow students to practice new skills to achieve mastery.
