Math workshop is a time when children can choose between a few different math activities. Each activity is based on the unit we are working on and helps children stay motivated to learn because they get to choose how they want to learn and practice a math concept. It also gives children an opportunity for independence and practice on decision making and time management.
Before math workshop, we discussed the expectations of what it would look like, sound like, and feel like. The mathematicians came up with many ideas and reflected on how they did in meeting the expectations after every workshop.
In math workshop this week, children chose between two new activities: Cover and Count and Build Cube Things.
- Cover and Count - Children used pattern blocks to cover outlines and different shapes. They had to cover each shape several different ways.
- Build Cube Things - Children had to count out 30 cubes and arrange them so someone could easily tell there were 30 cubes. Then they could have a free explore time with the 30 cubes.
