How to use the Math Workshop items in your classroom:
-
Students rotate through each part of the rotation in an order determined by you (displayed on a bulletin board).
-
Take time at the beginning of the school year to build the confidence and skills students need in each area of the math workshop. They will also need to become familiar with where to find the materials needed and learn the expectations during this time.
-
Once students are comfortable with each part of the workshop, set them up in groups and assign them a group number or color group. Decide also how many groups you will have and if you will have math workshops in rotations, rounds, or days of the week. You can use clothespins with student names and clip them onto the grouping cards for easy changes or write on the provided posters.
-
Once groups have learned the rotation schedule, they are ready to proceed through the math workshop.
-
Use the EDITABLE planning sheets to write down what each group will be completing in each part of the math workshop rotation.
The meaning of the MATH acronym:
For Math Warm-Up, students complete quick activities or math problems in their math journals, complete math minutes or math fact practice, or complete a math question of the day or other activity you have posted for them.
M (variation) - Meet with Teacher
For Meet the Teacher, students join the teacher in a small group. The teacher either teaches a lesson, reviews a skill, provides support to complete work, or another activity.
For At Your Seat, students complete a math assignment in their math workbook or whichever math program or worksheets you assign.
For Teacher Time, students meet with the teacher in small groups or as a larger grade group to work on a skill for that day.
T (variation) – Tech Time
For Tech Time, students complete a math activity using technology (e.g.; on a tablet, Google Classroom; SMARTboard).
For Hands-On, students complete a math game or a math center. You can place your materials for these games and centers in numbered drawers or bins and instruct students to complete one of the activities.
