Environment of Numeracy
Math Warm Ups
Whole Group: Mini Lesson
Differentiated Small Groups
Math Workshop
Conferences
Balanced AssessmentThese components are used flexibly and intertwined to meet the students’ needs and allows for teacher creativity in the design of their classroom structure. This approach allows teachers to maximize the impact of their teaching, engage all learners in connecting mathematics to their own lives, and supports College and Career readiness.
