WHAT TEACHERS THINK OF THIS MATH WORKSHOP RESOURCE:

♥ “I am so excited to use this in my math classroom. I had trouble getting my head around the workshop model for math and this made it so much easier to figure out. I love that it works with any district curriculum!” - Michelle T.

♥ “Oh my word, where has this awesome organizational tool been my entire career!? This is the key to successful math mini lessons, guided math and math intervention implementation regardless of the curricular tool a school uses.” - D.L.

♥ “Great resources for starting to use math workshop. We will be doing it virtually this year (teach for a virtual charter school) and this gave me some great ideas for my rotations and structuring things.” - Kathryn P.

♥ “As a first year teacher, this resource made planning and implementing math workshop so easy. There is such a steep learning curve to math centers, and it often takes many years to master and do well. This resource makes successful math centers and workshop feel more attainable and provides a lot of structure to get you there.” - Kaila W.
