Small Group Activities

What is everyone else doing while I run small groups? At least 5 activities are planned and aligned for each of your units!

How to use:

Do one or all and put it on repeat. Students should have multiple experiences with each station to build the necessary fluency. Everyone can do the same stations, or different students can do different stations. You can start off slow and introduce one, then when students understand you can introduce another. You don't have to do them all, but you'll have access to all of them!

Small Group Stations for each unit include:

  • Fluency Factory - 2-4 fact & procedural fluency practice activities aligned to your grade level per unit

  • The Shop- 1-4 open ended math problems where students can think diversely per unit

  • Writing Nook - differentiated anytime problems and tiered math journal prompts with label options for easy peel and stick into math notebooks.

  • Practice Plaza- 2-3 additional practice for the unit's skills & concepts

  • Proof Place - 2-4 opportunities for students to defend their answers with hands on activities, tools, and materials that support the conceptual work of the unit.

Answer keys included for students to self-check!

Hey, Math Friend! I'm Shannon Kiebler, Founder, Speaker, Author & Teacher!

I believe every student and every teacher, no matter their circumstances, can not only succeed but can THRIVE in the math classroom.

I would love to have you join me inside the Math Genius Squad to find out just how far you can GROW. I am not only a math specialist, but a Math Expressions expert!

I didn't grow up loving math nor believing I could do it. I grew to love it and grew in my belief I was capable of being not only a good mathematician but a great math teacher.

Somewhere along the way I fell in love with math and want to bring that same love of math to you and your students.

I would love it if you joined me inside of The Squad because...


🔶 I’ve taught every Math Expressions unit in every grade (Kindergarten - 6th).

🔶 I’ve worked in every Math Expressions copyright (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2018).

🔶 I work very closely with the author of Math Expressions creating new learning tools.

🔶 I continue to work as an independent curriculum writer, professional development creator, and speaker.

🔶 For more than 20 years, I've taught and trained in classrooms across the nation at every ability and economic level.

🔶 I’ve had the unique pleasure of being a classroom teacher, a math interventionist, a math specialist, a math coach, and a math consultant.

The A's to your Q's

Why would I join the membership when you give so much for free on Facebook and in our resource page here?

Just imagine, if you love what I give for free, how much more would you love what you pay for? The membership breaks off into separate communities, so there is a separate Facebook group for each grade. My goal is to serve each grade level BETTER. Our main Facebook group stays intact and I continue to serve you there, but more of my energy goes to serving the teachers in these subgroups. If our membership isn't a good fit for you right now, it's ok! You can stay in our Facebook group, I'd love to see you there. Members will have many more benefits. 

How long do I have access to materials?

You have access to the materials and videos for the lifetime of your membership, as long as it is in good standing. Slide decks, jamboards, etc., that are downloaded continue to be yours even after you leave the membership, but you will no longer receive revisions, additions, etc.

May I share the contents with my friends?

While sharing is caring, it isn't so with single use licenses. In fact, it's in violation of the terms of your membership.  Your membership covers one license, one classroom of students. If you would like to be a team leader and go through the video learning, then share your learning with others, I would encourage that! However, you may not share the videos, printable, or digital assets with other non-members. I'd love to have them in the group! Please invite them. I very much appreciate your understanding in this.   

What if I only want access to certain units?

This membership is set up to be about community AND support. If you are only looking for resources, I will be selling parts of the unit planning resources through my website store and Teachers Pay Teachers. 

If I buy now, do I always get this rate?

Individual membership rates do not change as long as your membership is continous and in good standing. Bulk enrollments, such as school, team, or district enrollments are subject to change based on bulk enrollment changes and price increases.

What if I change grades?

No problem! Just let me know and we can switch your membership over to the new grade level. Restrictions do apply to the 6 month or annual plan depending on when a change is being made. If you are at the end of your enrollment, changes may require a prorated fee.

I teach multiple grades. Do I purchase a membership at each grade level?

Each grade level access requires it's own membership. Coaches, support staff, combo teachers, and specialists should contact me directly so we can figure out the best plan for you.  I REALLY believe in the power of instructional coaching and I want teams to be successful.  Doing the membership together will offer the greatest results.

Do I have to pay for this personally?

No! Because this membership is about professional development, not merely resources, many districts and schools are purchasing these memberships for individuals, grade level teams, etc. If you choose to pay for it personally, it qualifies as an educator tax deduction.

How does my school pay for this?

Just send me an email letting me know your school is paying. I can send you the person in charge  information and an invoice. I'll need a purchase order to give you a seat in the membership.  Once I have this, you are in!  Some schools are even going "halfsies' with teachers.  They pay half, the teacher pays half.

What about bulk rates?

Bulk enrollment rates begin at groups of 8 teachers or more.  Bulk rates can apply to the entire district. For example, if School A enrolls and School B, their enrollment numbers work together for the largest possible discounted rate. Full district options are available, as well as full implementation plans to aid you in your use of the assets inside the Math Genius Squad. Please contact me: Shannon@empowerconsulting.org to discuss your specific needs.

Do you offer any refunds?

I'm convinced you'll love this community so much, you'll never want to leave. However, I know sometimes circumstances are beyond our control. While I don't issue refunds, you may stop your membership at any time. You will need to notify me of your choice to cancel before the next billing occurs. You will have access to the month's content through the date of the next billing cycle.
