Math workshop will usually start with a focus lesson on a skill or strategy or even a discussion.
Immediately following the focus lesson and talk, students engage in an inquiry activity or partner practice.
Afterwards, students will continue their inquiry activity-open ended math question- or have more independent practice-all working at their own pace.
During independent practice, I will usually work with a small group of students or hold one-on-one conversations with individual students to understand their thinking.
To end the workshop session, we will usually all gather together to share our learning for the day and talk about how the concepts tie into our unit of inquiry.
I really find that this approach allows for more differentiation of instruction.
