Math Center

This year a few of us on the Learning Lane team are changing how we teach math.  Over the summer we read the book Math Work Stations  by Debbie Diller; and we realized that we could better reach students if we met in small groups with students not only during reading but during math as well.  Math will start in a whole group lesson and then transition into centers and small groups.  During centers students will be working on independent seat work, which will be either in their interactive notebook or a worksheet, to work on the skill being taught that day.  They will also be playing games or working on the computer to practice math skills.  During centers I will be working with a small group to help strengthen students understanding of the skill being taught that day, and I will also be able to check for any confusions about the skill.
