Primary Education - Making Math Workshop Work for YOU and YOUR Kids!

Math Workshop has turned out to be awesome! I have struggled with making this work for a very long time. It has really stressed me out. That is, until I found this {AMAZING tool} from {The Clutter-Free Classroom}! This is truly the only thing that has really made sense to me in my search for sanity. I used so much of this pack to get myself up and running, but needed to tweak a few things to make math workshop work in MY classroom. 

I had a lot of trouble trying to group the pictures together and trying to say everything I wanted to say in my blog post, so I grouped my pictures together and put the info beside the pics. Hope this mess makes sense to you! 

Did you see my math mystery, The Case of the Halloween Hullabaloo in the hands-on picture? I have this mystery for {1st}, {2nd}, and {3rd} grades. If you would like include {math mysteries} in your math workshop, you can find them {here}! They are great fun and can be used in so many ways!

• Print them on 8 1/2 x 11 to make a full size book. I do this, then put the pages in page protectors and then in a notebook. The kids can use dry erase markers!
• Print them 2 pages to a page, to make a 1/2 size book.
• Print the copies 4 to a page.
• Open the pdf document on an iPad, computer, or other device and have the kids go to the correct page in the story.

The {The Clutter-Free Classroom} has some awesome organizational tips included in the {packet} I bought. I just wanted to let you see how I made it work for me in my classroom. You know, that is what you need to do with any resource you use in your classroom. . . make it work for you!

If you would like the chart I have the kids use to keep track of the activities they have completed, just click {here} to pick one up.

Thanks for stopping by! Talk to you later, tater!
