ABSTRACT
Math Workshop is always a work in progress. It is a good idea to evaluate your workshop at the end of each unit of study so you can reflect on what went really well and what you will do differently next time. You can think about and reassess the mini-lessons (the books, poems, and songs); the various anchor charts and how effective they were; all of the math centers for that particular unit of study (Were they engaging enough? Were they rigorous enough? Were they differentiated enough?); and the share sessions (Did you really discuss all the math that you wanted your students to learn?). It is also a good idea to try and visit your colleagues’ Math Workshops to see how they are going. How are they similar to or different from yours? Math Workshop is a great adventure, full of new and wonderful surprises every day.
