This book covers the basics of effective mathematical communication and offers specific strategies for teaching students how to speak and write about math.
This instructional math framework provides an environment for mathematics that fosters mathematical thinking and understanding while meeting the needs of all students. Educators will learn how to effectively utilize small-group and whole-group instruction, manipulatives, math warm-ups, and math workshop to engage students in connecting mathematics to their own lives. Maximize the impact of your instruction with ideas for using ongoing assessment and differentiation strategies. This second edition resource provides practical guidance and sample lessons for grade-level bands K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Promote a classroom environment of numeracy and mathematical discourse with this essential professional resource for K-12 math teachers!
Students learning math are expected to do more than just solve problems; they must also be able to demonstrate their thinking and share their ideas, both orally and in writing. As many classroom teachers have discovered, these can be challenging tasks for students. The good news is, mathematical communication can be taught and mastered. In Teaching Students to Communicate Mathematically, Laney Sammons provides practical assistance for K–8 classroom teachers. Drawing on her vast knowledge and experience as a classroom teacher, she covers the basics of effective mathematical communication and offers specific strategies for teaching students how to speak and write about math. Sammons also presents useful suggestions for helping students incorporate correct vocabulary and appropriate representations when presenting their mathematical ideas. This must-have resource will help you help your students improve their understanding of and their skill and confidence in mathematical communication.
This must-have resource helps teachers successfully plan, organize, implement, and manage Guided Math Workshop. It provides practical strategies for structure and implementation to allow time for teachers to conduct small-group lessons and math conferences to target student needs. The tested resources and strategies for organization and management help to promote student independence and provide opportunities for ongoing practice of previously mastered concepts and skills. With sample workstations and mathematical tasks and problems for a variety of grade levels, this guide is sure to provide the information that teachers need to minimize preparation time and meet the needs of all students.
Apply familiar reading comprehension strategies and relevant research to mathematics instruction to aid in building students' comprehension in mathematics. This resource demonstrates how to facilitate student learning to build schema and make connections among concepts. In addition, it provides clear strategies to help students ask good questions, visualize mathematics, and synthesize their understanding. This resource is aligned to College and Career Readiness Standards.
Support the implementation of the Guided Math framework with this user-friendly professional guide written by Guided Math author, Laney Sammons. This resource provides school leaders (coaches, principals, curriculum directors, teacher leaders, etc.) with user-friendly strategies for supporting teachers as they embark on teaching components of the Guided Math framework in their classrooms. Highlights include how to use the professional learning community model effectively when implementing Guided Math, tips for creating a strategic plan for improving students’ mathematics achievement, sample implementation models, sample assessments, and planning and implementation tools.
This invaluable professional resource instructs teachers on how to successfully implement Guided Math Workstations into grades 6-8 classrooms. With detailed instructions that are easily adopted into today's classrooms, this book contains everything teachers need to set up, plan, and manage workstations. Guided Math Workstations allow teachers to address their students' varied learning needs within a carefully planned numeracy-rich environment where students are challenged to not just do math, but to become mathematicians. Teachers will be able to successfully target the specific needs of learners with small-group lessons as students work independently on math workstation tasks. Each workstation task includes: an overview of the lesson, materials, objective, procedure, and differentiation tactics; a Student Task card with directions and a materials list for the task to help with implementation and organization; a Talking Points card with math vocabulary words and sentence stems to encourage mathematical discourse; and additional resources for each task.
This professional resource provides teachers with suggestions, tips, management, and implementation methods for using effective conferencing with students within the Guided Math framework. Templates, planning tools, and other resources are provided to help teachers stay organized and effective while conferring.
This resource provides specific strategies for implementing the seven elements of the Guided Math Framework. In addition, this professional resource includes digital resources, sample lessons, activities, and classroom snapshots of strategy implementation at three grade level spans: K-2, 3-5, and 6-8.
Provides teachers and parents with 180 daily-practice activities to build and gauge students' mathematical fluency. Each problem is tied to a specific mathematical concept. Provides practice in algebraic thinking, numbers and operations, measurement and data, and geometry. Digital resources include assessment tools
