Workin' On It Wednesday July 23

Happy Wednesday!

Based on recommendations in the book, The Differentiated Math Classroom, I have been working on brainstorming a better daily plan for my math class.

For any math teachers, I'd love to hear about the structure of your class/daily routine/etc. I have a 40ish -minute math period each day and each year I try to find the "perfect" way to use those 40 minutes....still searching, and my current brainstorming is leading me in a new direction...we'll see where I end up!

If you're interested in learning more about this book, check back and follow the links to the different chapters:) I'm going to give a quick review of the book introduction here, and then later today I'll be reviewing Chapter 1. According to the authors, differentiation is brain-friendly and brain-compatible! They describe the rise, fall, and rise of differentiation, starting with the one-room schoolhouses, where teachers taught all subjects to all students, of all ages, and HAD to differentiate - there was no other way!
