Guided Math The First 25 Days is the latest book in my Guided Math series.

The book was inspired by the many teachers I have trained in Guided Math over the years.  After attending a Guided Math professional development workshop, teachers kept asking for a detailed description of how to transition their students to Guided Math groups and stations.  I listened.

Guided Math The First 25 Days is an implementation handbook for teachers of Kindergarten through seventh grade.  This book explains how to set-up a Guided Math format in any classroom.  This resource manual contains 5 weeks of actual lesson plans that help teachers to plan Guided Math lessons according to their own grade level math standards.  Each week focuses on the behaviors and process of transitioning students to math workshop stations.  In fact, I purposefully designed this resource book so teachers would understand the process of planning for and meeting the needs of every Guided Math Group, in essence every student in the classroom.
