Math Workshop

This week we began a new routine in our classroom.  The boys and girls have started Math Workshop.  Children are broken into groups of 3-4 and are responsible for independently working at different math stations.  The work or tasks at each station are concepts that are review for the students.  Eventually, while the students are working at their station, I will pull groups of kids over to work with me on concepts that they need more practice in or that they need more challenge with.  Right now we are focusing on getting started right away, working the whole time, interacting with other group members appropriately and using our math thinking.  As of right now, Math Workshop has been a hit with the kiddos and they love getting to work in small groups!  Ask them to tell you about some of the math jobs they have been to.
