Guided Math and Workstations

hi I'm raining Sun stole from sessle's teaching tidbits today we're going to talk all about guiding math we're going to talk about the difference between guided math on teachers pay teacher's and the guiding math kids on hand to mind once we talk about that we're going to talk all about stations so how store them and then different resources that I offer and what they will cover for your students let's get started with guided map so on teachers big teachers you can download the paper version of guided map I got that in math for kinder through fifth grade and for each grade level there are nine units so those nine units are gonna cover nine math strands and that's going to cover all of your math standards for that year I do have a free standards alignment for each grade level as well so you can really mix and match those units and teach them in any order that works for your scope and sequence along with mixing and matching units or lessons within each unit so let's look at one unit this is going to be first grade addition and subtraction so this is unit two in first grade within each unit you will get lesson plans that are gonna give you math mini lesson discussion questions materials small group lessons with ideas on remediation on level and enrichment so behind each lesson plan are the materials you need for that lesson the way that I like to organize my units is either printing them out and having them in a binder like this which I'm gonna also link all my labels for you so you can have those labels as well so the unit goes and you're the lesson hands and any black white masters and then the pieces to the math mouths and game cards and things like that for the mini lessons and the small group instruction I like to put in baggies in a separate place like Sterilite drawer or I also use scrapbooking boxes so for that reason you can also download these labels too so you can have your lesson plans in the scrapbooking box and those are free as well and I'll leave that in the description so on Teachers Pay Teachers there are nine units each unit is about sixteen dollars and if you want the full year of guided math it's 125 and that's going to be a download per teacher so that's what it looks like on Teachers Pay Teachers under Reagan Tunstall after I released guided math I began to partner with hand to mind and hence mind is an amazing company full of teachers and we decided to go ahead and have prepped guided math kits that schools and districts could purchase that would be delivered to the school or the home for that teacher or school okay so here it is a kit that would be delivered it is fully prepped it is the exact same content as the guide north units but in a kit that's ready to teach so in a kit you have your lesson plan book and this is second grade unit three it also has just like mine have pre assessments and post-assessments I think to mention that you get your warmups poster which is also a demo version and then any max or carts that go with the different lessons that they have a coating on them so students can use them with dry erase markers so they're ready to teach and they're in multiple sets so that if you need them for a group of six you're ready to go so I'm going to show you the back so this is the back of one of the teacher books and you can see the nine units that are listed so for K through fifth you'll have nine different master ons and again you can teach those in any order that works for you so to get the entire bundle of practice you're going to need nine of these ready to go kits one kit is one unit on TPT so the sixteenth our unit on TPT is $79 prepped on hand to mind and then the full year on TPT is 125 the download version and then on hand to mind the full year all nine is $6.99 so that's per teacher all right so that's the difference between getting up on teachers my teachers and guided math prep kits one thing that the gun app does not have that I think has cost confusion as centers or workstations yes there's a lot of materials that go with guided math and that's going to help you teach your mini lesson and your small groups think of that as your main course that your driving instruction so those are your priority standards that you're focusing on your stations are going to be your side dishes to that mini course so that is not including but I have tons of them so I'm going to go now to stations and show you how I use them and what types I have for your grade level all right now we're going to show how you go from the guiding math lesson plan to work stations so I'm going to start by sharing what I use for my work stations in my classroom and then it'll go into organization and types of stations so what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to teach my math warm-up and that is going to be I do have a form of ideas and guided math but I also have digital warm-ups for the entire year like ready to go ready to project your students that's four kata fourth so math warm-ups first which is essentially your number talk and it goes through that procedure then I teach my lesson plan from guiding math so I'm going to do my math mini lesson on my priority standard I'm going to then move into this first icon which is small group so I go from the math mini lesson to pulling a small group while I pull a small group these are the other choices going on in my classroom at that time so the rest of my students who are not with me in small group doing this lesson here on a pair of math they are engaged in these four types of workstations the first type of workstation is math on technology so this actually spells stack s ta CK my students don't know the acronym I just liked to do that because you know teachers love acronyms but T's for technology so students go to math on a device and that can be a program that your school is purchased or apps websites and things like that that you have collected for your grade level that we're gonna cover those standards that you're teaching not going to spend time on technologies today because I have all of the actual stations here prepped for these three icons so the a in stack is the application station this is where students apply what they've been learning so the application station is going to be part of small group because it is the independent practice of what's going on in our small group lesson now some students go here before they come to small group so for that reason my application station is going to be not today's lesson it's going to lag behind so it might be a leak behind a day behind or it could just be spiral review but it's going to tell me how students are doing with independent practice so the resources I have for the independent practice station or the application station are the following the first one is called printing practice so it's really just skilled practice so I want to see how students are doing without the help of me in a small group in close proximity and the print practice resources look like this they are just skills pages so guiding math is divided into your nine master hands from one into whatever read WR so is the printing practice so you would look for your written practice by strands so if you're on geometry and your second grade they're not someone you would look for and it's just going to give you skill pages that you can put at that station so you can see how students are doing and so pretty practice is one type of resource that I have for that another type of resource that I have for the application station is math supplements there are actually three bundles within the math supplements line of products the first one is number chats the second one is exit tickets and the third one is practice pages so I'm going to show you all three okay so the number chats these are like to do once and at most twice a week it's almost like doing an exit to get before the lesson so it's a math talk or a numbers talk that you actually have a recording sheet for so I like to kind of assess what you're doing and do a little quick check but not everyday because we don't have time for that every day during our number talk so the number track gives you a written version of your math warmup so that's going to actually be used at the beginning of your math walk the second resource that I have within the supplement line is exit tickets and just like it sounds you're going to do this at the end of the lesson but you can sometimes fit them into that application station especially if you need something quick or a couple of them so it's going to give you a quick check on different skills and I always set my products up to where you look for that skill that you're working on and so you have your nine master and of them is addition and subtraction so then you're looking for I'm first grade and I need addition instructions without someone you would look for and if the third resource in math supplements are just called practice pages so if I'm looking for my crops at data standards then I might need this one and it's going to give me practice pages that are great for that application station so that I can see how students are doing so just to show you I've got number of Cotton's and skip nice this might be kinder or first I've got time for second grade so these mouse up women's products ready kata for right now so you can look for your different math strands and those practice pages our next station is our create map this is our math journal station so just to recap we have small group technology application station and now we're on create map and that's our mat journal I have two types of math journals and both will take you through the year so it might just be your preference on which type you prefer the first one is actually called math journal and it has nine volumes to take you through your entire school year having a station that students work in their journals the math journal station actually I'm going to show you this lovely natural these sweet babies have seen some love so this is actually my teacher journal and it is an example journal that I put under the document camera so that students can see for money and know how to build those pages it eliminates a lot of questions having an example journal like this alright so let's talk about what now journal covers the man jail product I keep in a basket and I've keep them run off for a week two weeks and if I'm lucky a whole month in advance and then I just pull the journal page that I want them to do that day and place it into the document camera pop open the example journal and say this is what we're doing today the math journal volumes each one will focus on a main skill which is going to correlate to guarding math but it will also spiral review this the previous skills so it's going to give you a little bit of work on your new skill as students master that but also strengthen the skills you have taught to you so it despair review type of format and that's how I work through math journal it is available kata for and the download looks this would be like the buns over third grades that the download is going to look like this off of 250 teachers here's the first grade version of only one volume each volume is roughly 20 to 25 activities so it's going to be plenty of materials to get you through each month of journaling sometimes I even let my to a journal page two days in a row if it's a long way okay then I have teachers saying wait I don't want my kids to have all these different skills within one volume I want it to be all on edition or all on measurement are all on telling time so then I created the numbers notebook numbers notebook is essentially the same formatting as journals so you're going to get nine volumes each volume having 20 to 25 activities but now a numbers notebook their focus so volume line is all about number sentence for kinder and first grade and so on so it's going to work through your mouth strands and it's gonna stay focus on just that mastery so the pages look like this and you'll see the standard here on the top I have both Common Core antiques version and then you would just show the example journal and then shoes this is kindergarten choose that page and display it for students I'm going to show you inside the numbers notebook and it's going to have a title with the standard this is the key for Texas but I also have Common Core as well so you would just choose this is an example of a common core you would just choose the standards that you wanted and then you would show your students I highly recommend making a teacher journal and when I started this I just did that week's activities only so I worked up to having the full year prep my students only get one composition book and we just go through it front back front back and if they accidentally messed up no big deal but we get back to the right and we keep going in these journal is one of those things where it's something that we do whole group until they get the procedure down sometimes I cut an ankle sometimes I fold and they live so it's a process of learning but over just a little bit of training time then they can become independently and it's actually well loved center they begged me to hurry up and tell them what journalists that day alright so we've covered small group map on technology application station create map and now your favorite of mine we're on ok kinesthetic hands-on mesons where do I even start alright so I like to put my stations in baggies this box and I do not so I can see what the station is and then all of the pieces inside this is not groundbreaking however let's talk about storage so one way that works for me someone who has 2,000 mass stations is to use these big boxes I got these at IKEA and I filled up an entire bookshelf with my nine mass rooms and then I would just pull from the front of the box and then put in the back when it was time to trade them out so I do have all of them out strand labels for you and again it's going to have there's going to be download that's linked in the description that you can get all of these labels from so if you are like me and you have a million math centers already pressed that might be a good now I also have some other ways to organize when I have students handling stations they're not getting into my box I will put them out in some kind of accessible tub so these are I'm going to show you what these are in a second but these this is one idea these are the dish pans from the dollar store they have them in writing work right now Michaels have scrapbooking boxes for four dollars and you can put labels on them and put your stations and those and then Costco has these scrapbooking boxes that are colored and there they come in sets of five I think and then the dollar store I love tubs I use bugs because they are so easy for students to carry to the carpet which is where our kinesthetic station happens alright so when I put stations out weekly for my students to use I put them in something accessible like this but when I'm not having them out they're either stored in a scrapbook box or the big giant box that I just showed you so what I'm going to do now is show you some of the different sets that I offer so I have workstations hands-on work stations for Kinder's their fourth right now and I'm going to show you some of the difference that's I have and what they are meant to cover so we're gonna start here and just ignore these networks because they may not make any sense but these labels can be this is how I would put out a station for my students so I would put out four or five a week and I've done it so many different ways over the years when I didn't have enough stations they got to choose a station from the one tub that held stations and then I just continued to make more and build up that Bank so it's okay if you're not at that point yet where you have enough stations for students to do something every single day it's okay for students to do the same thing more than once in fact I'll put something out take it away bring it back a couple weeks later a month later so it is okay for students to play games multiple times all right so this station is from a set called stations by standard and it is organized in the same way that guided math is organized so each strand has a unit and there are 15 games for that string so this is going to be in the place value strand I put the direction card the pieces and then any manipulative in that wooden campus instruction if the game has a recording sheet it's also in there and then students have a folder that they keep in their desk and if they have a recording sheet goes to the folder so stations by standard is going to be K 1 & 2 and you would look up your grade level and you can buy like the whole year or you can just find strand by strand another station we have in the tub and this is from my monthly math stations so these are beachy word problems and there is room on the cards for students to work out the math and thanks for them to write the answer equation so for this one this comes from my monthly math centers which I have for K - 2 and it's going to be spiral review so it doesn't focus on just one strand per volume but it will give you ten stations on different skills for students to practice and apply alright in our next tip we have math puzzles this is a newer product and I have it again for K 1 & 2 don't worry they're reading forth I'm getting to you and it gives you 26 different math puzzles for your braid though students take a math nut like this and then they look at the problem embedded in a cute picture 881 cents and they have to find that match on the math map it's getting cover all sorts of different skills they're going to place that on the math mat and it's going to end up building a picture when they get all of the pieces correct so that's called math puzzles and it's K 1 and 2 so for 30 fourth grade I have one bundle for each grade level that's going to be by topic just like valued math so it's going to go through your different master hands and give you stations for those masters I don't have multiple different sets for third and fourth I just have the one big bundle that's going to take you through all of your math strands so it's just called third grade math centers or fourth grade math centers and the way that I just play those is I have the picture on the front of the bag then I have the recording sheets run off I also have an answer key and you can kind of keep this by you or have some sort of way where sometimes students check their answers or maybe you want to check them and then I have the game cards that they're using so again it's going to be different depending on the different skills but that's going to take thirty fourth grade all the way through the air all of your different math strands and then the last one I'm showing in these this one is called building number sentence these are math maps and with the different I like to give my students different manipulatives so since we're in summer right now but we might we might be planning for fall this is a good one for you can use it in a small group you can use it I was a morning tub but you can also use it in a workstation so fish in a tank so this is for building ever since you can give them a target number you can have them make an equation but I give them a corresponding math minute these are fish erasers and I give them a dry erase marker so that they can write the number count them make an equation it just depends on their level and it's going to give you all sorts of different math cups I think possibly like 50 different math.max beans in a pot I would just use real beans ducks in a pond and I've got a little ducky erasers they can count touch make math equations button is on a coal from hand to mind I like to use counters but use the red site to make the pepperoni and I also have again there's like 50 of these but on a potato so they would use the yellow side to make the butter and it just goes on and on and on so that's a fun line for and it has a lot of uses mornings has small grip in a workstation that one's called building number sense okay guys the last thing we're going to go through is what's in the dollar store test these are actually from my books but I typically get my dollar store tubs at the dollar store these labels are also going to be in the download for you so just like I display in the dish Panta it's going to have the instruction card and any pieces that the students need to play the game as well as dry erase marker and manipulatives that may be recording cheats as well this popcorn place site game is in the monthly math centers for k1 and two depending on the grade level of this here's a station I haven't talked about yet these are word problems if you are a school or district where you have a requirement with word problems beyond the normal amount of word problems that we do then this product is totally going to help you with that so one thing I do want to say is these I don't know what they're you can call bright and white sleeves perhaps they are awesome when you don't want to laminate or you didn't laminate and you need that station so this is a low prep station the word columns you slide it in and students take the dry erase marker and then they work right on the map this is going to be word problems on graph e so as you can see the different mathematics have the word problem embedded with the graph but there aren't word problems for every grade level and every strand so for example if they're on time I throw a clock in there I throw a dry erase marker in there and then they will grab I have the word problem cards in there so they grab the one that they want to do they place it here in the blank spot and then they work through that word problem so I have different math mats depending on the strand and a grade level this would be subtraction probably first perhaps kinder because it's going to give you a 10 frame a number bonded up to ten so make a kinder or first and so on so you can kind of tell it's going to give them built-in strategies to use to solve those four problems the students aren't ready to read those yet then I use them in small group lessons or and added little instruction the next one the next set of stations these are super adorable if you love to decorate your classroom for the seasons and change things out then these are called monthly math and literacy sores are not mostly I'm so sorry seasonal math and literacy centers and there's four seasons so there's four sets of 20 stations what I have to do is give them the instruction card manipulatives the game pieces and then the dry erase books so for example ten - blank equals two so they can use the manipulatives and then they're looking for the answer card to fit in the middle spot there's also in the seasonal games there's recording sheets for many of them and we'll put that in their mouth folder so if you love seasonal stations these are going to be spiral review then look for seasonal math and literacy stations all right and the fourth tub is going to come from another low prep option this is also this is actually first in second grade only and these are called right and white so you don't even have to laminate a lot of them are just one page but even that you could slip in well they have multiple pages but I like to do it back to back or use multiple sleeves to really make it low prep this one is called cactus comparing students are comparing three digit and four digit it's a place by the station so for example 1200 is less than greater than or equal to 1199 so I've got thanks money box for students i've got dry erase markers for them to fill out their answers and then i also have their little recording sheet booklets and the booklet is going to go along with all of the different write and wipe activities so look for writing like if you're looking for low prep and those are also going to be by strand so all place value or all measurement time etc great time thank you guys so much for hanging out with me and going through all of that fun station talk look for my next video and don't forget all the free labels in the download see you next time type look today I'm gonna share the different per unit 3 actually that's always know though from pencils teaching tidbit I can't eat unit that you can purchase and where the skills
