Math Workshop

In the past few weeks we've begun to change the way we think about math - not in terms of what we learn, but how we learn. We've talked about how, just like in our families and groups of friends, people are experts at all types of things, and how we can use that information to make learning new math skills better!

In Math Workshop, there are 3 different rotations that happen each day: Work with Miss G, Journal or iPad, and Game of the Day. While a group of students are learning the new skill (or reviewing), the other students are either working on the corresponding Math Journal page, are playing a particular game on an iPad, or are playing the Game of the Day. Groups change frequently according to the skill being taught. In each group, we might be reviewing, practicing with each other, or challenging ourselves. It all depends on what we
need!

This group is playing the Game of the Day together, Nests and Eggs.

It's the first exposure to multiplication that students have! Ask us

about it at home :)

 

Students are working together on a tricky Frames & Arrows problem!

This group is working at the rainbow table with 

Miss G finding patterns in odd and even numbers.
