Hands-On Spooky Math!

Things are definitely getting spooky around here!

Specifically between 10:15-11:30...
when my co-teacher and I tackle Guided Math!

Our first graders use the curriculum from Eureka Math (Engage NY). It's our 3rd year and I just now feel like I'm getting it! 

We have 26 students and have divided them into three groups: Group 1 (10 students), Group 2 (10 students), and Group 3 (6 students with IEP goals and objectives). Here's our rotation:

The Problem Set is our written "Show What You Know" component after our Concept Development. So far, this rotation has had a positive impact on Group 2 - our "bubble" students hovering around the 60-75% line. We are trying to push them move above 80% and they are SO close! 

I plan Group 2 to work on the previously day's lesson...using many of the additional materials from Eureka and/or creating my own. As I check for understanding with all ten students, I began pairing up the early finishers with a hands-on task...this is where it gets spooky!

I've been posting a few of these pics on Positively Learning Instagram:

I'm also sharing this "Spooktacular" math craft today on Ellison Education Blog:

Do you use a Guided Math model in your classroom?

I'd love to hear what works for you & your students!
