Put math workshop into practice in your classroom with these essential lessons!
No matter what state standards or textbook you are using to guide your teaching of mathematics, this resource gives you a spectrum of ways to foster number sense in grades 3–5. You’ll find:
- innovative, classroom-tested routines (including number talks), focus lessons, and games;
- step-by-step directions;
- vignettes that describe actual occurrences of each activity being taught;
- an exploration of the four features integral to developing number sense; and
- connections to the mathematical practices to help teachers envision them in action.
Foreword from Math Workshop author Jennifer Lempp
“Every teacher who reads this resource has a way to get started with the math workshop model today. When we know better, we do better. And the ideas in Bresser and Holtzman’s resource help us all know better by providing us practical activities to do with students. We all got into education with one priority in mind—the student. These authors enthusiastically share that same philosophy and put students at the heart of their work.”
