Mini-Lesson PRIMARILY teacher directed BRIEF, no more than ten minutes Could be used at beginning to set the

tone and introduce concepts to be explored

Could be used at end to summarize learning that has taken place

Whole Group

• When most students are on about the same instructional level for a math concept;

• Introduction of a new series of lessons with an activating strategy to generate interest, enthusiasm, and curiosity;

• Use of literature to teach a math concept;• Review of previously taught and mastered

skills to ensure maintenance• Preparing a class for cooperative group work;

• Some assessments…

Small Group/Guided Math Groups/Math Workshop

Similar to Guided Reading/Math, but composition of the groups may be more fluid

Homogeneous, flexible grouping by level of achievement

Requires assessment to determine each student’s level

Provides scaffolding to support the learning efforts of students

Encourages exploration of math concepts in a risk-free learning environment

Maximizes the benefit of co-teaching

Small Group/Guided Math Groups/Math Workshop

Students work independently, in pairs, or in groups

Procedures and routines must be established and practiced

Activities should provide opportunities for exploration or practice of mastered skills

The work need not be related to the work being done in small groups
