I love your blog! So full of information. Do you have a 4th grade Guided Math Bundle?

I always start with a warm-up (going over morning work) and a number talk. I don’t have a math book, so I create all of the activities that we do. On the day’s a don’t pull groups, we usually don’t have any trouble with time!

I’ve just discovered your blog and products and love them! I really like the flexibility of your math system because you have time to spend observing the kids and time to have them at centers (which is what my school wants!).

Anyways, I have a few questions regarding your math block. On the days you pull groups and students go to centers, do you start into these right away or is there a warm up activity or number talk?

On the days that you don’t pull groups, it sounds like you do the majority of your teaching and observing while students do guided practice/independent practice. Do you find that the kids have enough to do for the time you have? (like my block is an hour).
Do you pull these activities from their math books?

I hope my questions make sense! Thank you for taking time to answer.
Thanks, Katie

Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas! How do you hold students accountable during center time? How do you make sure they are understanding the concept and completing the work? This is one of my biggest struggles with centers.

Hi there! I don’t give daily grades, so grading isn’t an issue for me. I only grade end of unit assessments (for summative assessments). If a student works with me, I don’t hold them accountable for what they missed. I don’t want them to see working with me as a punishment or as extra work. Let me know if you have any other questions!

I really enjoyed reading about how you structure your guided math rotations. I am very interested in the fact that you only pair up your students rather than work in a group. I think I might try that.

Anyway, I have a question, you mentioned that your table is not part of your rotations and that you then pull kids out of Their station. How does this effect the students finishing the work they missed when they were at your table? I really like your idea I just want to understand how that factors in.

Also, do you pull any daily grades from your rotations or is it just mainly practice and then how do you get daily grades?

Thank you for sharing this great idea!
