Our Vision and Beliefs
for Guided Math

Winchester Public Schools aim to promote a positive math experience for every student through utilizing the Guided Math Framework.  We aim to develop students' love of mathematics through real life application and promoting a growth mindset, where all students can be successful with rigorous math curriculum.

What is Guided Math?

Guided Math provides a classroom-tested framework that is a practical approach to teaching mathematics that involves ongoing assessment, hands on problem solving and discussions to meet the needs of every student. The framework structures Guided Math into 7 components to include:

Environment of Numeracy
Math Warm Ups
Whole Group: Mini Lesson
Differentiated Small Groups
Math Workshop
Conferences
Balanced Assessment

These 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.
