Class Size: 20-22 students
Katie Lately: When the kids come in they grab a popsicle stick with a number on it. That is there number for the day. When we start Math Workshop, they go by the schedule of their number. (Ex. If I am a #2, I will go to At your desk first, then Math facts, then Hands on, then Teachers Chair) Basically its their schedule for the class. In each station I give them choices on what they can do. They are similar things but some may be a high level than others to hit all my learners. So no, they may not do the same activity but it was the same concept. I have the kids work independently in their own seat...it isn't group work even though they may be traveling for the day as a group. I think the various assignments also helps get that point across.
5-10 minutes: Homework Review

This Math Station Sheet cuts down on copies and holds students accountable for the work completed at each station.
At the start of math workshop, we
display the teacher's copy of the sheet on the document camera (ELMO).
We fill in the titles for each station together. Students also decide
on the appropriate voice level for each station and write it in the
boxes.
As students go to each station, they
record information from that station. For example, today at Fact
Practice, students played Bingo Facts. As they drew cards out of the
basket, they recorded the answers on their Math Station Sheet under the
Fact Practice station.
To encourage us as teachers to
always have a closure , we included it on the sheet as well. :) The
closure today in Chloe's class was: "I have 6 vertices, and all of my
sides are equal in length. What am I?" In Tabitha's class, students
were told to write two attributes of a hexagon.
For the magic rectangle in the
top-left corner, students rate their behavior according to the math
workshop norms. They write a 1-5 (1=many improvements needed, 5=keep it
up!).
To keep grading simple, we assign a point for each box on the sheet=10 points (1 for the name!)
