Guided Math is a framework for small group mathematics instruction. This model offers all students opportunities to develop their mathematical skills at varying levels with the ultimate goal of gaining the ability to function independently in the world of mathematics.
The Guided Math Framework includes the instructional components:
Classroom Environment of Numeracy
Math Warm-ups
Whole Class Instruction
Small Group Instruction
Math Workshop (Centers)
Individual Conferences
Ongoing System of Assessment

Whole Group Instruction
Presenting to the entire class in about 20 minutes leaving time for small group instruction and workshops.
Present mini lesson
Involve students in activating strategies
Reading aloud mathematics-related literature
Setting the stage for Math Workshop
Providing practice and review
Formal testing or assessments
Small Group Instruction
By using ongoing assessment data students are grouped based on needs. Teaches design lessons to support students to reach learning goals.
Determine the big ideas of study to be taught based on the standards & needs of the students
Decide what the criteria of success will be in mastering the standards
Use information from assessments to form groups based on student needs
Prepare differentiated lessons based on the learning needs of the students in each group
Individual Conferencing
Meeting briefly with students to further student's understanding of mathematical concepts.
Workshop (Centers)
What are students doing while the teacher is with a small group? Students learn to work independently.
Reviewing concepts that have already been learned
Practicing for mastery of math facts
Using math games for reinforcement
Solving problems
Investigating math concepts
Writing in math journals
Working with technology tools
Completing work from small-group instruction
