Guided Math is a structure for teaching whereby a teacher supports each child's development of mathematical proficiency at increasing levels of difficulty, within the context of a small group. It is premised on the idea that working with children in small groups, provides powerful possibilities for reaching all children where they enter and taking them to the next level. In Guided Math groups, students engage in standards-based, rigorous, engaging meaning making learning opportunities where the teacher focuses on a particular concept, strategy or skill. Teachers facilitate this learning through hands-on, scaffolded conversations and intensive questioning.

Guided math provides a structure for teachers to differentiate instruction so they can reach and teach every student by:

Creating flexible small groups that allow students to work in their zone of proximal development so they can learn exactly what they need to know at their instructional level

Creating activities that tap into student's individual learning styles and interests so they stay engaged

Providing immediate feedback so the student can adjust their work

Questioning students in small groups so they have an opportunity to talk with their peers, ask questions and justify their mathematical thinking

Allowing teachers to re-teach, reinforce, expand and compact concepts, strategies and skills

Providing short lessons that emphasize conceptual understanding, procedural fluency or problem solving

Scaffolding lessons so that they can be taught at a concrete level, pictorial level or abstract level

Ultimately providing students with the self confidence they need to become successful mathematicians

Guided math is a proven instructional strategy that every teacher needs in their toolkit. Dr. Nicki can provide you and your staff the strategies and tools needed to implement guided math in your school or district today.

I like the charts/maps for the students to know exactly what to do, where they go- etc. It helps with timing of lessons as well.

maybe use an online timer to keep time, a visual for students

We love Super Centers. The students are grouped at the teacher’s table with like levels, but in centers, the students are grouped heterogeneously (med high with a medium low) etc.

I use the MATH for guided math. It does take lots of practice, but the students really enjoy rotating.

If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again (making changes as needed lol)

Stay strong! Stick with it!!

I like seeing that I'm doing the same thing as other teachers. Validates that I'm on the right track in my classroom. For those teachers not yet doing guided math... just jump in and try it! You can't go wrong!

There are so many ideas here. Organization is so personality driven I love the variation of the same MATH concept for groups.

Super Stations has been an awesome way to teach math. I get to see every child every day.

I love all the great ideas! However, how come we don’t get a day or at least a half day to get things ready so we can implement this into our classrooms? This would be much more beneficial to me than sitting all day listening to great ideas but never having time to actually do it.
