Sixteen classrooms of fifth and sixth grade children will grow mathematically from their teachers using these Guided Math framework resources. Guided Math allows students to be taught in small groups based on their mathematical needs. This enables the teacher to focus on a small group of students as they solve mathematical problems. He or she is able to observe and coach students based on where the student(s) are and need to go in their mathematical reasoning and problem solving. The Strategies for Implementing Guided Math will provide teachers with the strategies necessary to effectively implement the Guided Math Framework. This resource includes sample lessons, classroom snapshots, digital resources, activities, and templates to support each component of the framework. Also provided in the Daily Math Stretches, are contextual problems for the students to solve and build up their mathematical knowledge, reasoning, and problem solving. Math Games for Number and Operations and Algebraic Thinking will provide students opportunities to interact with other students. Research has proven over and over that students learn better in a small group setting versus a whole group setting to meet their specific needs. The Hands On Equations classroom kit will be shared among the classrooms to give students a conceptual understanding of balancing equations which has proven difficult when only given in an abstract presentation. Students will be able to manipulate the equations in a small group setting with the teacher or in a whole group setting.
Guided Math is an environment in which students are provided the
opportunity to work with the teacher in order to build solid math skills, concepts and strategies. Our students deserve to have these experiences so they can succeed in mathematics now and in their futures!
