Rimbey, Kimberly ,
Meaningful small groups in math grade k-5 : meeting all learner's needs in any setting / Kimberly Rimbey. - xx, 253 pages : color illustrations ; 28 cm
Includes bibliographical reference and index.
"Small-group instruction has been a topic long-discussed in the K-5 arena, and well developed in the reading world. However, in K-5 mathematics, small-group instruction has typically been reduced to learning centers and rotation stations, with little emphasis on differentiated, small-group, teacher-facilitated learning. This book will provide guidance for teachers on the necessary components of small group instruction in math, trajectories for small-group instruction on specific math concepts, and practical how-to's for getting started. In addition, one chapter will be devoted to those who lead teachers in this effort, discussing how either a school or district/charter/organization might organize such a system on a broader scale"
ABOUT THE AUTHOR : Kimberly Rimbey is an author, inventor, entrepreneur, speaker, consultant, coach, mentor, advocate, and, proudest of all, a teacher through and through. Kim currently serves as the Chief Learning Officer and CEO at KP® Mathematics and an Official Building Thinking Classrooms Consultant alongside Peter Liljedahl. A life-long teacher and learner, her heart’s work centers on equipping teachers and helping them fall in love with teaching and learning over and over again.
Always a teacher at heart, Kim has held several leadership positions, including Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Chief Learning Officer, and Mathematica Program Area Coordinator. That said, everything Kim has done in her career is based on what she learned during her 18 years as a mathematics coach and classroom teacher.
Kim is National Board Certified in Early Adolescent Mathematics, and she is a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching. Kim is the co-inventor of KP® Ten-Frame Tiles and has authored and co-authored several publications, including the Mastering Math Manipulatives and Meaningful Small Groups in Math for Corwin, Math Power: Simple Solutions for Mastering Math for the Rodel Foundation of Arizona, and, most recently, The Amazing Ten Frame series for KP Mathematics.
Kim earned her BA in Elementary Education and Mathematics from Grand Canyon University, her M.Ed. degrees in Early Childhood Education and Educational Leadership from Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University, and her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from Arizona State University.
