Math Workshop, Part 4

August 10, 2012

Math Workshop Binder

Divider #6 – Math Scrolls
Obviously, this section is pretty small. I have a copy of the blank 100 grid as well as directions (with pictures). I keep the directions just in case I am having a volunteer help put them together.  I first heard about number scrolls through the Everyday Math program.  If you aren’t familiar, it is a way for students to practice writing large numbers.  They begin with the first set (1-100) and continue on at their individual pace by adding sheets, as needed. 
Here are some pictures in case you are interested:
(materials)
 (name goes on the inside of the tube)
 (start by attaching a small strip of paper to the tube)
 (attach all additional sheets end-to-end as they are completed)
 (roll your scroll)
 (keep your scrolls closed using rubber bands or paper clips)
Divider #7 – Versatiles
I enjoy the independence and ability to self-check that Versatiles present.  There are individual math strand workbooks.  Students need the workbook page and the tile set.  There are 12 problems and 12 answers.  Students work through the problems, placing the tiles into the appropriate answer spaces in the case.  When students have placed all of the tiles, they flip the case over, open, and check the pattern with the provided answer. 
If you really had some extra time on your hand, you can create your own worksheets.  The book tells you what your answer key should look like to create the pattern you desire.

Divider #8 – Think Tank
My district purchased Origo math materials a few years ago.  One of the items we received was a Think Tank for computation and number sense.  The box is definitely “eye-catching”.
Inside the box, the cards are sorted into categories.  Each category has about 20 cards and an answer key.  Once you teach the procedures for how to use the cards in the box, the Think Tank can be used for independent or partner work. 
The box has a section called Teacher’s Notes.  The assessment card gives a suggested activity from each section to use as an assessment piece.  The final card is a Student Progress Chart. 
So, if all of this is contained in the Think Tank Box, why do I have a section in my math workshop binder?  I have created my own individual student progress charts and I keep a master copy in this section.  Students keep track of the cards completed in their math folders.  The folder is also where students record their work for the Think Tank.  I will also keep a copy of the suggested assessment activities in my binder.
Click here to learn more about the Think Tank.
Divider #9 – Task Cards
Behind this divider I keep a master list (which needs to be updated) of all of the task card sets I have been collecting. The masters for these sets are kept in a file cabinet because there just isn’t enough room in one binder for them.  There are task card sets floating all over the internet.  You can find them for just about any skill you want.   
If a set has 20 cards in it, you can break it down into 4-5 cards a day, depending on how many days your students do rotations.  You could have a self-checking card with each set, collect and grade, or correct together as a class. 
There will be one more post about my math workshop binder.  It will include info. on Math Boxes, Pattern Block activities, and Tangrams.  If you missed my previous posts, click on the links below:

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?⁣

We’ve been reading this book every night for day We’ve been reading this book every night for days, so I wanted to give this one a more permanent spot here on my page. ⁣
⁣
The main character of this book is Rosie (aka Little Red Riding Hood). Her story begins as she sets off to deliver a cake to her grandma. Along the way she faces choices that might lead her to Hansel and Gretel, The Three Little Pigs, Sleeping Beauty, and even Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.⁣
⁣
Endlessly Ever After is a rhyming book that combines fairy tale stories with a choose your own adventure style of writing. Not every ending ends happily, but this one is sure to keep your kids wanting more until they discover each and every possible ending! ⁣
⁣
Do your kids prefer to read more traditional or fractured fairy tales?⁣

Squish or Save?⁣ ⁣ That’s what the reader mu Squish or Save?⁣
⁣
That’s what the reader must decide after reading Hey, Little Ant. This is one of my all-time favorite books to use for persuasive writing. After reading, kids use text evidence and write whether they want to squish the ant or save it. Then, they top off their writing with a fun kid craft.⁣
⁣
So, which team are you?:⁣
💚Team Squish⁣
💛Team Save⁣

You can find this craft along with more book activities for Hey, Little Ant in my TpT store. There are digital options included, too. Click the link in my bio or send me a DM for more info.⁣
