It’s Math T.I.M.E.

June 27, 2012

I have been playing around with different ideas for math workshop for a few weeks now.  I saw this idea on Pinterest.  It comes from Cassie at Adventures in Teaching.  To read more about how she uses BUILD in her classroom, click here.
Since this will be my first year trying Guided Math & Math Workshop, I wanted to simplify things.  Here is what I have so far.  I would love to hear your thoughts on this one.

T – Teacher
(guided math lesson)
I – Independent Practice
(skill review, catch-up work)
M – Math Buddies
(partner games & activities)
E – Extend the Lesson
(journal pages or other differentiated activities related to the lesson)
I envision the rotations moving to the left so that right after I teach a guided math lesson, students immediately begin working on the journal pages or extension activity.  The group starting on extend a lesson will be continuing work from the previous day’s lesson.  I would have one of my top groups be in this position.
Group 1 – Teacher – Extend a Lesson – Math Buddies – Independent Work
Group 2 – Independent Work – Teacher – Extend a Lesson – Math Buddies
Group 3 – Math Buddies – Independent Work – Teacher – Extend a Lesson
Group 4 – Extend a Lesson – Math Buddies – Independent Work – Teacher
My district uses Everyday Math. I think the Math Boxes and other Everyday Math Routines would fit well into Independent Practice. Independent Practice would also be a great time to review those basic skills that need continuous practice (time, money, etc.)

I also started brainstorming a list of Must Do/May Do ideas for early finishers. Here are some of ideas I have:

Calendar Pages
Number Scrolls
Versatiles
Think Tank Cards
Graphing Activities
Tangrams
Create a Math Box
Feedback is greatly appreciated.  If you have any other ideas for my Must Do/May Do list, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

    It sounds like you have a wonderful plan so far! There are so many great math websites out there. Perhaps a computer center would work well for another group or your fast finishers!

    By the way, I found my graphics on Etsy. Check out Goodness and Fun and Moo and Puppy!

    Great thinking you shared. I do Daily 5 math in my kinder room and it is awesome. (We also do Daily 5 literacy.) I am your newest follower.

    I think I will join you and do your TIME in Math. I have been doing the Daily 5 now for over 5 years, I have that down pat. Last year I tried to implement the Daily 5 in Math, and I felt I didn't do a good job. So if you don't mind I will share what works in Math with you this year too!
    You are truly a dedicated teacher and it shows!

    I am new to guided math/math workshop this year too. I love your "TIME" for Math, and hope you don't mind if I also borrow your idea. I would also like to share ideas with you and Queen Bee as the year progresses. Thanks for sharing, Meiri

    Great ideas! Wanted to share with you what I do with math boxes during rotations: I have kids do a Kagan strategy called Rally Coach and they LOVE it! I've used it with both 2nd and 5th graders. Hope you have a great year!

    We use Everyday Math also and I've been doing math rotations for the past 3 years but I LOVE your TIME idea and will probably incorporate that this year 🙂 Just wanted to share with you that I use a Kagan strategy for math boxes called Rally Coach during rotations and the kids live it! I've done it with both 2nd and 5th graders. Have a great year!

    Okay…I'm back! I've spent a lot of time researching different approaches to this math station/math workshop/guided math thing and I must say…I LOVE your acronym the best. I am also going to use TIME in my room and am your newest follower.
    Thanks so much for sharing.

It can be scary to try something new! ⁣ ⁣ Soar It can be scary to try something new! ⁣
⁣
Soar follows Ramone Ruby-Throat as he gets ready to fly for the very first time. As nervous thoughts run through his mind, other changes start happening, too. His belly hurts, his beak aches, his wings feel bent, and his feet are tired. He thinks it might be best to wait another day. But soon his mother swoops in, acknowledges his feelings, and helps encourage Ramone to take a chance. It isn’t long before he begins to soar!⁣

Kids show their worries and fears in different ways. Often, it can be difficult for them to connect their physical reactions with their emotions. This book can help start that conversation. Not only does this book have a great message that kids will relate to, but the brightly colored images will certainly catch their eye!⁣

Thank you to @hillarydaecher , @schifferkids , and @ponchobird for sharing this book with my family!⁣

That’s right. I can say NO.⁣

No is a very powerful word, but it isn’t always easy to say. Learning to say no is an important step towards setting boundaries and protecting your energy, your beliefs, and your heart. I Can Say No is a great book to show kids that it’s okay, and sometimes necessary, to set personal boundaries to protect yourself, your heart, and your energy. Too often we let the guilt of disappointing someone or hurting someone’s feelings get in the way of what we really want or need. I love that Jenny Simmons has included a page of tips for educators and caregivers in the back of the book. These are a great way to keep the discussion going long after the book has closed.⁣

Do your kids love building forts? Mine do! They us Do your kids love building forts? Mine do! They use blankets, stools, and other furniture to make it as big as they can. Then they fill it with their bedding and stuffed animals. Inside, you can find them reading books, playing games, and giggling. I think that’s why I was drawn to this book. This story follows a group of friends as they build new forts to match each season. This book is jam-packed with verbs and will have your kids dreaming of their next fort creation!

When Farah notices the butterflies have disappeare When Farah notices the butterflies have disappeared from her neighborhood, she realizes there aren’t enough green areas for them. Around the same time, she discovers that the mayor is looking for ideas on what to do with some public land nearby. That’s when Farah springs into action. She writes a letter to the mayor with plans for a community garden filled with beautiful flowers and healthy foods. But she isn’t the only one with plans for the empty lot. Can Farah get her community involved to see her idea come to life?⁣

When kids want to get involved and make a difference in their community, they might need some help getting started. Books can help! Rise Up and Write It just might encourage and inspire the next young activist. I love that this book includes little envelopes filled with surprises between the pages. ⁣

Have you read this one yet?⁣

Meesha loves to make things, but it’s hard for h Meesha loves to make things, but it’s hard for her to make friends. She doesn’t always know what to do, what to say, or when to say it. So she decides to create her own friends out of materials and items she has around the house. These friends make her feel comfortable.⁣
⁣
But one day, Meesha is invited to a party. It is loud, chaotic, and unpredictable, so Meesha finds a quiet corner to create some other friends to play with. Soon, a boy named Josh asks if she will show him her creations. Even though Meesha is hesitant, she soon opens up and realizes how much fun it is to have a real friend. ⁣
⁣
Making friends is not always easy. It takes time, trust, and finding common ground. I love that this book showcases both the joy and struggles in making and keeping friends. This would be a great book to add to your SEL book collection or books about friendship.⁣
