Guided Math Made Easy: Practice Path

We are almost to the end of of my Guided Math Made Easy series! Practice Path is the last of my 4 stations and it's my favorite!  This is the station that gets totally blown out of control when it comes to management and set up.  To me, this is where I truly make Guided Math easy!

Guided Math Made Easy: Computer Cabin

Welcome back to my Guided Math Made Easy series!   Today's post is all about my Computer Cabin station!

Brain Beads

My students HATE answering questions!  It is always the same 2 or 3 students raising their hands.  Maybe it's because they got used to not being called on when they were in regular ed but now I need everyone to respond!  Enter Brain Beads!  They work like magic.  As soon as I introduced them, the kids hands started to shoot up.
