Monday, February 10 - Math groups


One week into running our math block as a math workshop and LOVING every minute of it! Here are what a few of the kids have to say about it: 
  • "I love that we get to do so many things everyday." 
  • "I used to not really enjoy afternoon, and now I can't wait." 
  • "I really like that we get to play math games and spend time in iXL." 
  • "Since you are working with such a small group everyone really has more of a voice."

What Mrs. Clarey says about it: "Why have I never done this before?" "I'm never teaching math whole group again!" 

How does it work? Students work in 4 teams. Each team rotates through 4 activities everyday following the title MATH. 
M = Mrs. Clarey (lesson at the SmartBoard)
A = At your seat (an assignment or assessment)
T = Tech (iXL)
H = Hands-on (math games)
