Go Math

by Bill

Aug 25, 2013

I need to see how anybody has Go Math in a lesson plan format. I like the program, but I am burning a lot of time trying to write daily plans for it. I have the Common Core edition.

Where can I find sample plans for that? If anybody has them saved, I'd be happy to buy them. I am looking for 3rd grade.

Thank you,

Bill

Jenn Has your school purchased a license to Think Central? They are the on-line component to Go Math, and where you can access everything - TM, student edition, pacing guide, assessment guide, all the workbooks (standard, reteach, enrichment), as well as find a HUGE wealth of resources, including on-line lessons for the Smart Boards or Promethean Boards...See MoreHas your school purchased a license to Think Central? They are the on-line component to Go Math, and where you can access everything - TM, student edition, pacing guide, assessment guide, all the workbooks (standard, reteach, enrichment), as well as find a HUGE wealth of resources, including on-line lessons for the Smart Boards or Promethean Boards as well as manipulatives, extension activities, and review activities. It's worth the cost if your entire school is using it.

I can tell you how we set up our lesson for our 6th grade co-taught class. We start with a warm-up: 3-5 problems that review skills taught in the last few lessons, or ones we have noticed need to be practiced. This is designed to be an independent activity - each student does as much as they can. Think Central has electronic transparencies for this available. These start out easy enough for all the students to answer and end with a challenge problem for the higher students. We teach the focus of the lesson, using the Smart Board lesson from Think Central or examples on the white board. When we are doing really well on time we break into small groups to practice the skill and reteach/enrich. We are finally, after 3 weeks finished, accepting the fact that we will need 2 solid days (45-50 minutes each day) for a lesson in order for the majority of the students to understand it and have enough time to practice it. The second day we are going to begin with a 5 question review "quiz" that likely won't be graded that will assess how much students understood from the first day of the lesson. Once we see who is where we will arrange small groups to practice, reteach, or enrich. Sometimes we give homework and sometimes we don't, it depends on how far we have gotten. We are also mixing in multiplication time tests twice a week to practice facts, as well as a program called Math 4 Today. There are materials for Go math available on Teacher Pay Teacher as well.

This isn't exactly a lesson plan, and the 6th grade level is definitely covering pre- algebra concepts a great deal of the time, so that might be different than your lessons. I hope this helps though! All of our teachers are finding this program very challenging, especially 4th and up.
