Description
Establishing Math Workshop is one of the key ingredients in a Guided Math block in your math classes. Math Workshop allows for you to facilitate independent and individualized learning in a small group setting. While you are working with a small group for Guided Math, or facilitating math conferences 1-on-1, the other students in your classroom are engaged in a variety of tasks.
Throughout the course of this eBook I go into the ways that I was able to implement Math Workshop (student directed small groups) and Guided Math (teacher directed small groups) in my 7th and 8th grade classrooms for several years.

I would have liked to have an example of a workshop day. What each group would be doing.

Wow! You have been reading my mind! I knew workshop was my answer to differentiation, but was struggling to pull it all together. Now, I am ready to rock it in the classroom, and with everything organized in one place! I feel like you’re my virtual instructional coach, holding my hand as I make this shift after 15 years of traditional teaching. Your authenticity radiates and creates connections of trust. Thank you for being YOU!
Jennifer Smith Jochen is the Real Deal!

Jennifer, thank you so much for creating this gem! As a 6th grade dual immersion teacher, it is difficult to find the time to fit everything in. I teach math in Spanish and English, so differentiation is a must! Your book allowed me to see the big picture. Everything I had read and researched about math workshop made sense after reading your book. The way you break it down is so simple and straight to the point. I got my entire grade level to jump on board and now we are all implementing workshop in 6th grade, something never done before in my school site.
Thank you, thank you!
