Students working together during math workshop in a variety of ways (stations, guided math, number sense routines, etc.) helps students develop many different skills necessary for further advancement.  Learning how to respect one another is an important skill that is not taught enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Students feel free to express their opinion and not feel the need to fit into any type of box.  Expressing their way of thinking is an important aspect of math workshop.  There is often more than one way to solve a problem.  Kids need to understand that.

# data[].attributes.body
students working with the math workshop model will learn from one another, how to take risks, being ok with not always being right, and learning how to listen to others.  Creative thinking comes from having your independence praised and highlighted.

# data[].attributes.body
This is number sense routines in a nut shell.!  This kick off routine sparks critical thinking skills, involves everyone, and enables kids to learn from one another.  Kids become risk takers when involved in this type of activity, and makes them think more deeply about a topic.

# data[].attributes.body
Student Reflection is what comes first to mind. Kids have to be able to explain their thinking as well as be able to listen to others and have respect for different ways of seeing the same thing.

Guided math helps with collaboration by allowing and encouraging students to work together. They can learn from one another and grow together.

# data[].attributes.body
I think guided math allows not only students to show their creativity through the use of multiple answers or creative problem solving journeys, it also allows teachers to be creative in the planning, creating, and executing of math learning stations.

# data[].attributes.body
I think guided math allows for creative thinking, especially when students participate in a number sense routine. This allows them to show off their learning and thinking and encourages them to think in more creative fashions and that there is more than one answer to the problem presented.

# data[].attributes.body
The structure of guided math directly lends itself to critical thinking. Students do more explaining and reasoning in the discussions, groups, and reflections.

# data[].attributes.body
Working together is much more fun and engaging than working alone. It also allows students the opportunity to be successful by checking each other's work.

# data[].attributes.body
Math work shop encourages students to express and share their math thinking. Students can share their math strategies with their peers and teachers get to hear their students explain their thinking as well. This helps all students gain a deeper understanding of the skills or concepts being taught.

# data[].attributes.body
Math work shop stretches students capabilities by encouraging them to challenge their brains and their problem solving skills. Students grow and learn by reaching beyond their comfort level.

# data[].attributes.body
Math work shop gives students the opportunity to practice their math talk and their listening and speaking skills with their classmates. As they communicate, students are also able to use their math vocabulary as they engage in all types of conversations, both at and above their level.

# data[].attributes.body
As students are encouraged to share their different ways they got the answer, it helps others to see their way.  This actually could fall under all categories.  They are collaborating, being creative, communicating and thinking critical as they are sharing their answers with each other.  These are skills they will use all of their life.

In math workshop students communicate their math thinking in conversation and writing. They converse as they work through math and when sharing during reflection time. They can also communicate through writing- showing what they are thinking.In the communication there is also use of important math vocabulary.

Encourages students to work together and communicate with one another to achieve a common goal.  Math workshop encourages students to respectfully challenge each other's thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
Guided math encourages students to be creative with allowing multiple answer or ways to get to an answer. We want children to find strategies that work for them. Number talks absolutely show creativity with finding an answer.

# data[].attributes.body
It allows creative thinking by allowing many answers and ways to find an answer.

# data[].attributes.body
Students use critical thinking skills in all areas of math workshop. They use it in their number sense routine by thinking outside the box with very little parameters.

# data[].attributes.body
Students must communicate with one another during math workshop. The design of math workshop almost forces students to communicate in some part of it. The number sense routines really encourage children to explain their reasoning behind an answer or to disagree with another student.

# data[].attributes.body
Student engagement soars when students work together to solve problems. Whether in pairs or small groups, student are able to bounce ideas off one another in an academically safe environment which encourages risk taking and perserverance.

# data[].attributes.body
Students have multiple opportunities throughout the workshop to think outside the box and approach problem solving through multiple lenses of their own choosing. No one is telling them how to solve the problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Much research has shown that those who do the most talking are doing the most learning. In Math Workshop, students are always working at communicating their ideas through sharing points of view, strategies, or justifications. They are continuously honing this life skill and discovering nuances in how to relate to others through listening, speaking, and writing.

# data[].attributes.body
How can a teacher add creativity to math? By getting out of the way and allowing his or her students to construct their thinking with their own ideas and not ones we plant and fertilize in distinct rows. While the flowers may emerge wild and unrelated, we often find that the garden is filled with delightful surprises and even the teacher learns something new!

# data[].attributes.body
Higher order thinking is a critical piece within the Math Workshop. Often there is no right answer, no list of choices, no particular model for thinking a particular way. Students must use what they already know and construct new thinking in order to reach a better understanding or to solve a particular problem. A bit of gray is sprinkled onto what may first be perceived as black and white. This discourse opens up all sorts of possibilities in the minds of students that may have otherwise not been tapped.

# data[].attributes.body
Whether in small groups or working with a partner in a work station, students ideas are are being heard and talked about. Students don't have to wonder if they will be called on, they will have a chance to voice their ideas or concerns one way or another.

# data[].attributes.body
You guys had a lot of really thought provoking posts through this padlet.  What is so cool to see is how much you all have learned through this class!  It's so great to hear all of these ways that Math Workshop can help our kids be more strategic, creative thinkers that can talk about math!

# data[].attributes.body
The way that Math Workshop is structured, students are allowed to make choices and go in directions that they haven't gone before. Students create their own path and in their own creative way and are allowed to think and discuss their math without judgment.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are able to think creatively when they have the opportunity to share a different point of view or a different way of solving a problem. Or being able to draw or use manipulatives of a problem to help another student understand his/her thinking.

Students are able to work through problems together, and be able to discuss their thinking. Reflection at the end of their lessons also helps them to feel more confident in their mathematical thinking.

When we collaborate we acknowledge other methods to solving a problem. We grow by hearing the thoughts and ideas of others.

Being creative in math allows students to demonstrate understanding of a topic that is their own approach and strategy.

# data[].attributes.body
All the aspects help with this if planned well. Besides the number sense problems and the reflection being critical thinking, the centers/workstations should incorporate the critical thinking.

The students working together collaboratively  is an excellent communication skill or at least practice at it.

Working in learning stations allows students to collaborate on math problems together instead of working independently at desks.
