MATH WORKSHOP
Math Workshop
What Is a Math Workshop?
A math workshop framework can provide the rigor and relevance necessary for skills that students will need in the future. The math workshop framework often starts with a number sense routine, a short, 5- to 10-minute period of time when students talk about numbers. They may look for patterns, talk about attributes of a number, or explore various ways to solve a problem. That is then followed by a combination of the following based on the curriculum and instructional needs:
A focus lesson: Whole-group instruction to introduce a new topic
Guided math group: A small group of students working with the teacher to address specific needs
Learning stations: Activities that students work on independently or collaboratively to practice new topics or review past topics, often taking place while the teacher is working with a guided math group
Student reflection: Students think and share about their learning. This can be done in a variety of ways including math journals, exit tickets, or turn-and-talk.
This framework allows students to really investigate mathematical concepts and develop a deeper conceptual understanding, problem solve, and learn with their peers. It provides choice and allows students to be creative in their thinking as they develop their math knowledge.
Implementing a Math Workshop:
Moving from a traditional math classroom to a Math Workshop model requires a mindset shift, which is no easy task. Here are some tips:
Be willing to take a risk and try it out. Using the math workshop model will not be perfect the first time you use it. It takes a lot of trial and error to see what works best for your students.
Implement one or two pieces at a time. If you are new to using a number sense routine, start by adding just that piece. Perhaps then add one or two learning stations to see how it goes before adding three or four.
Find another teacher or two who are also interested in implementing the math workshop model. Collaborate with others about what is working and what needs improvements.
Have fun!
