Welcome to Guided Math 2
= = ==== **"It is my belief that the learning that will take place by using the Guided Math approach, is the learning that we would all want our students to have: learning for understanding."** Janis K Drab Fackler====

** Chalk Talk: There are questions posted around the room, please take a marker and write your thoughts, you may respond to an answer or write your own original thought. The goal of this is to reflect through writing, not talking. **

==== **"Teachers who have already established a classroom arranged to teach Guided Reading have a head start on this process. Their classroom arrangements will most likely be conducive to Guided Math." Laney Sammons** ====

 * The Foundational Principles of Guided Math**
 * ** All students can learn mathematics. **
 * ** A numeracy - rich environment promotes mathematical learning by students. **
 * ** Learning at its best is a social process. **
 * ** Learning mathematics is a constructive process. **
 * ** An organized classroom environment supports the learning process. **
 * ** Modeling and think-alouds, combined with ample opportunities for guided and then independent problem solving and purposeful conversations, create a learning environment in which students' mathematical understanding grows. **
 * **Ultimately, students are responsible for their learning.**
