Guided Mathematics
Teacher supports a group of students as they solve problems
Guided Mathematics (Strategy and Strand teaching) is at the heart of a balanced Mathematics programme. It gives the teacher and a group of students the opportunity to talk, explore, and think their way purposefully through mathematical problems and tasks.
In Guided Mathematics sessions, the teacher works with one group at a time and all students participate in the thinking and the explanation of their thinking. A balanced Mathematics programme is usually one hour long and happens every day (Monday - Friday). Group instruction may take 45-50 minutes of this time.
Rotations are an effective way of managing a balanced Mathematics programme.

Strategy teaching model
It is important that, no matter what age a student is, students move through these phases, starting from 'Using Materials' until they can make abstractions.
See the Numeracy Book 3 (listed below) for more details about this. Books 5, 6, and 7 also contain information about this too in the context of each book's focus.
