The Ideal Math Lesson VS The Reading Workshop Model
The Ideal Math Lesson has four main components:
- Engage/Explore, where the teacher guides the students through a discovery of the lesson,
- Explain/Elaborate, where students complete their formative assessment,
- Differentiation based on the assessment, which can consist of centers or stations, and
- Evaluate, where the lesson is summed up and reflected upon.
The Workshop Model, as used in Reading and Writing, differs from this model. To view the complete comparison between the two different models, please click here.
