Overview
Math workshop helps to decrease anxiety, increase engagement, and provide students with differentiated instruction. Through whole group lessons, small group instruction, and learning stations, students explore mathematics, developing a conceptual understanding of the content. Through math workshop, teachers have a process to address student needs using inquiry and cooperative activities. Math workshop provides teachers with a framework for how to best use every instructional minute and the pedagogy that supports student achievement. This session will reveal how the philosophy of math workshop is connected to research and how the model can be applied regardless of existing textbooks or curriculum.
