Meaningful Small Groups in Math, Grades K-5

Small-group instruction has been a topic long-discussed in the K-5 arena, and well developed in the reading world. However, in K-5 mathematics, small-group instruction has typically been reduced to learning centers and rotation stations, with little emphasis on differentiated, small-group, teacher-facilitated learning. This book will provide guidance for teachers on the necessary components of small group instruction in math, trajectories for small-group instruction on specific math concepts, and practical how-to's for getting started. In addition, one chapter will be devoted to those who lead teachers in this effort, discussing how either a school or district/charter/organization might organize such a system on a broader scale--
