ABSTRACT
Guided Math provides a powerful opportunity for students to learn math. In small groups, we can meet learners where they are and take them to where they need to go. We get everyone talking within and among themselves. We coach learning. We facilitate thinking. We orchestrate masterful conversations. Everyone is invited to engage as thinking mathematicians. We get to hear how others are doing it and also hear ourselves make sense of the math that we are doing. We also get immediate feedback so we can stay on track. It is a time for students to make more and more sense of math in its growing complexity at a pace that is appropriate for them. Guided Math is good for all students. It allows everyone to reach their next level of learning and become proficient in the grade-level standards.
