A number of teachers at Goodrich have decided to start using
guided math groups as a part of their math instruction and this week our class
decided to join the party. Guided math allows for students to not only take on
a huge responsibility for their own learning, but it also allows me to give
students the specific instruction that they need. Every student is different and
guided math allows me to meet my students where they are in math and help push
them to the next level.
In our classroom, guided math has four stations. We have a
teacher station, a hands-on station, an independent station, and a technology
station. Many students loved the hands-on station this week. Students at this
station were working in pairs (or groups of 3) on division with two different
games. Overall, the feedback from students was very positive about learning
math in this way. This week I was able to see my students grow in their
independence in math and also in their division abilities.
We are all excited to continue using guided math this year!
