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.

Another trip to the library? Sounds like a good id Another trip to the library? Sounds like a good idea to me! Which of these titles would you read first?
One thing we’re doing this summer is reading all One thing we’re doing this summer is reading alllll the books (big shocker, I know 😉). My kids love funny books, so I thought it was time to introduce them to Those Darn Squirrels!⁣
⁣
This book follows Old Man Fookwire, a grump who likes painting pictures of the birds near his home. As the weather starts to get colder, he is determined to keep the birds close by, so he fills his backyard with bird feeders.  Soon the birds flock to the feeders, but so do the squirrels. The story takes a humorous turn as the grumpy old man faces off against some clever, but mischievous squirrels. Can you guess who comes out on top?⁣

Our library’s summer reading challenge has offic Our library’s summer reading challenge has officially started, which means my kids are asking for more frequent trips to swap out their books. That means I get more time to browse the picture books. Here’s what I brought home on our latest trip. Do you spy a favorite book or a new title that catches your eye?
When you feel angry, you might notice your face ge When you feel angry, you might notice your face getting hot, your jaw clenching, your belly tightening, your fists balling, or your heart pounding. Recognizing anger is often easier than understanding the true cause behind it. And if you think it’s hard for adults, imagine how confusing it is for kids! I want to share a new SEL book for kids that focuses on identifying and managing anger.⁣
⁣
The students at Sunnyvale Elementary carry a lot in their backpacks - including some things you can’t see quite so well, like big feelings and confusing emotions. Today, one fiery red book keeps spilling out and exploding onto everyone: ANGER! It’s time for the kids to use their best detective skills to figure out what’s underneath those angry feelings.⁣
⁣
“Anger is tricky that way. It tries to protect us from uncomfortable feelings by making us feel strong and in control…”⁣
⁣
Hello, Anger will be released on Thursday 6/2. If you preorder the book through NCYI by June 1st, you can grab a FREE resource bundle to pair with it. Visit helloanger.com to learn more. Thank you to @nationalcenterforyouthissues and @jessicasinarski for sharing this book with my family!⁣

Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever - she gets to choose the new family pet! She selects an elephant! 🐘 Mabel is thrilled that her new pet gives big hugs, the best rides, and even has a built-in slide. But when the elephant tramples through the garden and sits on her mom, Mom says, “NOT THAT PET! Choose something SMALLER!” That’s when Mabel chooses ants. 🐜🐜🐜⁣
⁣
It isn’t long before the ants cause problems for another family member and Mabel is left to swap them out for something new. However, with each new pet comes new problems. The animals are too smelly🦨, too scary🕷, too wriggly🪱, and even too prickly🦔. That’s when Mabel comes up with an idea for the PERFECT pet. Will her family agree? The ending might just surprise you!⁣
⁣
What kind of animal would make you say, “NOT THAT PET!”?⁣

Whether you’ve been actively working on mindfuln Whether you’ve been actively working on mindfulness with your kids or looking to get started, I have a book I think you’re going to love! ⁣
⁣
Happy: A Beginner’s Guide to Mindfulness gently encourages readers to slow down, explore their emotions, and take the time to notice the beautiful world that surrounds them. The illustrations complement the poetic text beautifully and I love that there are little reminders tucked in throughout the story for students to practice mindfulness. Swipe to take a peek inside.⁣

How do you help your kids practice mindfulness?⁣
