Minds on Mathematics-Using Workshop to Develop Deep Understanding in Grades 4-8 (Upcoming Book Study)

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

**UPDATE 6/27**- Please see this post for information about the Minds on Math Book Study including the blog post schedule.  We will be starting this coming Saturday 6/29.  Please order your book ASAP and start posting as soon as you can.

**UPDATE 6/24**- There seems to be enough interest in doing a book study so we will move forward.  Please purchase a copy of the book as soon as possible if you are interested.  I purchased my book at Amazon and it arrived in less than a week.  I would like to get the book study up and running next week.  Of course you can join in at anytime, but it will be easier to stay on track if you get your book sooner rather than later.  I will be doing another post on the book study with more information in a few days.  We can try a hybrid study where you can post thoughts on your blog, but we can also try a chat on twitter for more.  I spent more time than I would care to admit making the Book Study Button on the side of my blog.  HTML is not my forte at all.  If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions for the book study please leave comments.  Thanks for everyone interested in joining in.  I am looking forward to a great exchange of ideas!

Hello to all my dear blog friends.  I am trying to find out if there would be enough interest to do an online book study  of Wendy Ward Hoffer's book:

Minds on Mathematics 

I purchased this and other books a few months ago.  I have skimmed the book several times, but am looking forward to doing a more in depth reading of it this summer.  I am trying to see if there is enough interest to do an online book study via blog posts or twitter chats.  I am open to doing either or both.  I would love to connect with other math teachers that are moving to a workshop delivery model of instruction in middle school math.  I have yet to find any teachers that are doing the workshop model for math that aren't elementary teachers.  

I will be taking a graduate class on math workshop model this summer with my entire 7th grade math team.  I am hoping to have the book finished by the time I take the class.  I know if I am doing an online study or chat that will keep me accountable, plus it would just be awesome to share ideas with other like minded math teachers out there.  I am lucky enough to be able to collaborate with my real life content team members.  The online book study would be a chance to connect globally with other middle school math teachers.

If you have any interest in either a blog book study or twitter chat please let me know in the comment section.  If there is enough interest we will proceed.  If not, I will still plan on reading the book and sharing what I learn on my blog.  I know it would be much more fun to collaborate with some of my amazing blog and twitter followers!
