Does the gradual release model belong in math class?

In this episode, I'm going to argue that we do the opposite of the "I Do, We Do, You Do" instructional approach in math. Instead, I am going to walk you through teaching practices I've used to create equitable, student-centered math classes that empower students to BE mathematicians.

We are talking about:

• What the GRR model is
• The math research says
• How to flip the GRR model (independent work ➡️ providing support as students remain in the lead ➡️ share ideas ➡️ summarize learning)

My favorite books mentioned in this episode:

• 📗Adding it Up
• 📘Children’s Mathematics Cognitively Guided Instruction
• 📙Principles to Action: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All
• 📕5 Practices for Orchestrating Math Discussions

Do you have students who struggle to access word problems in math? The truth is our students struggle to get started on word problems because they don’t have access.

This episode breaks down what access to word problems is and simple ways we can help our students get started with a three-step routine.

We are talking about:

• What a launch routine is
• The steps in a launch routine
• How to tailor the launch routine to meet your students' needs
