why will math workshops be more beneficial as students?
Math Workshop is a structure that allows individuals, pairs, or small groups
of students to work on a set of related activities that focus on similar mathematical content. [ The
activities are not sequential: as students move among them they continually revisit the important
concepts and ideas they are learning. By repeatedly playing a game, or solving similar problems,
students are able to refine strategies, use different contexts, and bring new knowledge to familiar
circumstances. Because Math Workshop is often preceded and followed by whole class
activities, students have many
opportunities to discuss and synthesize the big ideas of the
activities they have been working on. Math Workshop provides students the time and opportunity to: revisit important math ideas that
they are learning in whole group activities and discussions; develop a deeper understanding of
these concepts through repeated experience, in different contexts; refine their strategies for
solving problems; and practice important skills. ]
