An Online Professional Development Workshop for teachers in grades 1 – 5

(Cozy pajamas optional… but highly recommended.)

Your step-by-step blueprint for implementing guided math in your classroom

– without the headache!

Rollcall time!
Keep on reading if…

You’re frustrated that your whole group math instruction always feels so chaotic and disorganized — no matter how many hours you spend planning.

You’re struggling to differentiate during your math blocks, and you worry that you’re not meeting the diverse needs of your class.

Your assessment results are showing that your students aren’t reaching mastery level (and seeing your students struggle with essential math skills breaks your heart).

You’re constantly correcting your students’ behavior during math instruction, re-focusing their attention, and dealing with countless interruptions that derail and distract you.

You’re curious about how guided math groups can streamline your teaching, settle down your students, and help dramatically improve their math mastery.

Nodding your head? I’m so excited you’re here, because…

Learning how to nail guided math is about to rock your world (and your classroom).

Spoiler alert:

It involves super practical, no-fluff professional development training that will get you taking action in no time… all in your coziest pajamas (and from the comfort of your home, too — more on that in a sec).

But first, some real talk, from one teacher to another:

The “one-size-fits-all” approach to teaching math doesn’t work — even though it’s been used for decades in classrooms all around the world!

Due to lack of time, resources, and the millions of other things on our plate, we tend to rely on whole group instruction — teaching to the middle and hoping for the best — because it often feels like it’s the only way we’ll ever get anything done…

… but it’s been failing us — and our students.

You may already be aware that whole group math instruction makes it nearly impossible to intervene with your struggling students and meet the needs those who are ahead of the curve.

It’s the reason why you’re stuck with teaching the same concepts, over and over again, praying that your struggling students finally get it and catch up (or accept that you’ll need to move on and leave them behind)…

Meanwhile, your on-level and advanced students are bored to tears, zoning out, or acting up…

Which means you end your math blocks feeling hopeless, stressed, and exhausted — without much to show for it!

Rinse. Repeat.
Come back and do it all again the next day.

Sound familiar? You’re just one of many smart, skilled, and passionate teachers who are struggling to find their groove with math.

Time for the good news:

when you learn how to make guided math work for you, everything changes.

Maybe you’ve already heard about the power of guided math…

But you’re not really sure what it’s all about, and if it would even work for you.

You’ve got no idea where to start — and you’re overwhelmed enough as it is without implementing something new in your classroom!

You’ve tried guided math groups before, but couldn’t find a flow that works —  so you’ve returned to whole group instruction, and you’re doing the best with what you’ve got.

So here's the lowdown

Guided math groups, similar to guided reading groups, allow you to lead your students through your lesson plan one small group at a time. While you’re instructing one group, the rest of your class is working through activities on their own, until it’s time to rotate.

Small group instruction is so powerful because it allows you to differentiate your instruction and meet the individual needs of your students — by matching their individual learning styles, providing opportunities for them to talk with peers, ask questions, and for you to provide immediate feedback …

… All with short and effective lessons that give your students the confidence and mastery they need to become successful mathematicians!

But…

…getting up and running with guided math can be tricky… if you don’t have a blueprint for making it work!

It doesn’t matter how many awesome activities you find on Pinterest, or how much time you spend on prep and planning…

Because the magic of guided math is in having a system that creates the consistency and routine necessary for your students to thrive.

So if you’ve tried to teach guided math before, but gave up because you got overwhelmed, didn’t know where to start, or just couldn’t find a flow that works …

You owe it to yourself to try just one more time.

Because once you’ve learned how to plan, organize, and execute your guided math instruction with a framework that makes sense and takes the stress out of teaching small groups…

You’ll never look back.

Put simply? Guided Math That Works is the blueprint you’ve been looking for.

Here’s how smart and savvy teachers like you
are transforming their teaching with guided math…

“Anna’s Guided Math has been a game changer for my math block. My students truly enjoy math this year, and so do I! I have seen more students succeed in the first 2 months of school, than I have in 8 years. I love that my students, struggling learners all the way up to gifted, can all participate at their levels during the same math block.” – Jeniffer

“Guided Math has totally transformed my classroom! I was looking for a way to ensure that I was serving both my top math students and my struggling students equally. I was sure that some of my brightest students were bored with the way I had been teaching math in the past. Stumbling across Guided Math has been a game changer. I am confident that all of my students’ needs are being met. Students are excited about the format and love the small group attention, and I am just amazed by how independent and self sufficient they are by the second month of second grade.” – Kara

When you think of differentiation, you think… “Oh My, how long is this going to take to make for each student?” Anna’s guided math provided me more in-depth understanding of how to meet each of my students needs. Everyday my students are itching to get to the rotations because they actually get to move, and learn. Guided math is an essential component in our day, and without it, I truly wouldn’t know how to teach to each student and their needs. – Rachel

Peek Inside Guided Math That Works

The Guided Math That Works Workshop consists of 5 video training modules and bite-sized tutorials.

Work through it within a week, from any computer or tablet, in just an hour a day…

Or, do it at your own pace… preferably in your pajamas. You decide!

Everything inside Guided Math That Works has been structured to get you taking action.

We’ll cover the necessary theory to get you up to speed and give you a firm foundation in module 1, and then we’ll spend the next 4 modules digging deep into the action-focused, real-world advice that will make a serious difference in your classroom.

Here’s exactly what we’ll cover…

Module 1: The Guided Math Philosophy and Framework

Module 1 will give you a “big picture” introduction to guided math and how to implement this framework into your existing math block.

We’ll review the overall philosophy behind guided math, and how all the bits and pieces fit together into a smooth and efficient system for getting your students up to mastery level — by teaching math to each of your students the way they need to be taught!

Module 2: Whole Group Instruction

You may be surprised to hear that there is still a place for whole group instruction within the framework of guided math — you just need to learn WHEN and HOW to use it effectively as part of your guided math structure!

In module 2, you’ll learn how to use whole group instruction to introduce a new unit of study, and help your students build foundational skills through math warm ups and wrap up sessions, as well as number talks.

You’ll also learn how you can use whole group instruction for more effective assessments — including formative and summative assessments — and when to use them.

Module 3: Introduction to Small Group Instruction

In module 3, you’ll learn how to plan, organize and execute your small group instruction with ease.

I’ll show you how to plan your lessons and rotations using the C.P.A. approach, and how to create a classroom management plan — which is the most essential ingredient in helping your students learn your guided math routine and stick to it (so you can say goodbye to the days of dealing with constant interruptions, distractions and questions that derail your teaching).

You’ll also learn how to informally assess your students in the moment by using anecdotal notes (this will save you SO much time when it comes to prepping for reports and parent conferences), as well as how to use your rotation chart for different scheduling scenarios.

Module 4: Teacher Feature and Workbook Nook Rotations

In module 4, I’ll show how I set up and run my small group instruction station — which I call the “Teacher Feature” station. This is the rotation where you’re working directly with students and leading them through your lesson plan. You’ll also watch a LIVE video of how I run my small group instruction and keep things running smoothly!

And, if you’ve ever wondered what the other students are doing while you’re teaching your small group, all of your questions will be answered in this module. I’ll show you how to set up “The Workbook Nook”, which is where your students go immediately after their time with you, to work independently.

You’ll also learn how to keep your students on-track and engaged during their entire math rotation — which means you’ll deal with less interruptions and distractions and actually have the time and focus you need to teach effectively!

Module 5: All About Math Stations

Depending on the size of your class, your students will also work through additional rotations during your math block — I call these “Elation Stations” — and there are so many fun possibilities for how you set up your math stations!

We’ll cover math rotation stations for problem solving, math journals, fact fluency and technology, and I’ll show you how to organize your stations to keep your classroom running like a well-oiled (and beautifully quiet) machine — without spending a heap of money on new materials and equipment!

You’ll be up and running with guided math in 5 days flat!

No fluff — just actionable, real-world strategies to streamline your small groups, eliminate classroom chaos and distractions, and help your students achieve math mastery.

See what teachers are saying about our guided math resources:

“My students’ understanding of math concepts and ability to do the math, because they’ve been taught from hands-on to abstract, has increased exponentially. ” – Abbie

“It was absolutely worth every penny! I just started implementing guided math after Christmas break in my third grade class. It has made a huge difference in the entire dynamic of my class. It took a couple of days to practice the rotations and then we were off! I can’t say enough about it.” – Tammy

“I have a notoriously low class. I am using guided math and they are all doing great on 3 digit adding and subtracting with regrouping! Thanks Anna!” – Carmel
