What is Guided Math?

Lets ask the doctor!

Dr Nicki has an Ed.M. and an Ed.D. from the Department of Curriculum and Teaching at Teachers College, Columbia University specializing in Teacher Education and Curriculum Development. She uses her strong understanding of curriculum to address the differentiated needs of all students in her work with teachers and administrators. Dr. Nicki builds upon current curriculum research and theory to provide practical, realistic 21st century strategies in todays classrooms. Dr. Newton is greatly interested in teaching and learning practices around the world and has researched education in Denmark, Guatemala and India.3

How Do I Use Guided Math in my Classroom?What have you done that is successful in your room for Guided Math?

Begin with an opening 15 minutes, or mini-lesson, which includes an activator or teaching strategy. I always start with the standard. Work time that includes small group instruction as well as work stations for other children. This takes the majority of the math lesson. End with a closing. I usually leave 5-10 minutes for my closing. How do I set up Guided Mathin my classroom?

Openings

Presenting New Material/begin with the standard (unpacking it or reviewing it)10-15 minutes depending on what I am doing Presenting Activating StrategiesKWL, Anticipation Guide, Word Splash Reading Math-related literatureEstablishes Connections Setting the stage for Math WorkshopPractice and ReviewPaper/Pencil, Games, Music, Technology

Activating Strategies I always start by reading the standard

Read students a book that introduces or relates the new skill being introduced.

Add and subtract within 1000 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

Cards & Dice StationCards and dice can be used to reinforce any of the basic math skills: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and number sense. The cards and dice center is a great center, because you always have the materials on hand and there is no preparation needed.

How to Differentiate: You can have students use more or less cards, or use higher or lower numbers on dice.

Directions

85>Player 1Player 2Player 1 and Player 2 both flip over one card at the same time.Player 1 has the greater value. Player 1 gets to keep the 8 and the 5. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.

Lets Play War!

Problem Solving StationStudents use their math journals to solve problems using strategies they have learned in class. Students must show at least 2 different ways to solve each question.Students are encouraged to share ways to solve the problem and help each other.Students are never allowed to give answers.

How to differentiate: Hang up a different problem solving question according to the level of the group at that center.

ExemplarsYou need to practice the piano 2 hours every week before your lesson on Friday afternoon. Your teacher says not to work more than 20 minutes at a time. Show what your practice schedule might look like.

*Every Cobb County school should have a copy of these in your school.

Top 5 things I love about Guided Math:5. Touches on all areas of multiple intelligences. 4. I am able to get to know each individual students math needs better and teach accordingly.3. Very easy to differentiate instruction among all students.2. Gives students more hands-on time and more use of manipulatives.1. The kids love it!!
