Why Math Workshop?

Why implement math workshop in your classroom?

1. Provides students with differentiated instruction
2. Encourages independence, responsibility, and risk taking in students and creates mathematicians who have a solid foundation of number sense, which leads to a conceptual understanding of mathematics.
3. Provides students with engaging learning experiences that promote mathematical thinking, discourse, and a positive disposition toward mathematics.
4. In math workshop students develop a mindset that they are capable of doing great things in mathematics.
5. When students work together, their learning increases. They don't just learn mathematics, they learn how to work in groups, monitor their own behavior and interact with peers who have different experiences or ideas.
