During Math Workshop, the children participate in a mini-lesson from our Math in Focus curriculum. Then there are four math stations that reinforce the math concept we are working on. The children spend time at two stations a day, visiting each of the stations over the course of two days. The Math Workshop session ends with a Sharing time where we talk about something we have learned, and the children may be asked to solve a problem based on the new skill they have been using at the math stations. We have been working on the numbers 0 - 10, recognizing the numbers in different forms (numerals, dot patterns, fingers, ten frame patterns), writing the numerals correctly, counting, and understanding the concept of more than and less than. The children enjoy the hands-on learning involved with our busy Math Workshop time.
