Does anyone do Guided Math? If so, how do you do it? How effective is it?

I currently do not do it. However, I have over 20 kids in one room all day, and no special education teacher for learning support in my building. About six of my students are below grade level for math and are struggling as the concepts are getting harder as we go along. The students who are on grade level or higher can get slowed down when I am doing whole class teaching of the concepts and I would like to tap more into their potential.

I've seen Guided Math in action in another school and was unsure about how beneficial some of the center activities were. Seemed like for some students it was a good chance to sort of play and practice math skills but also sort of talk at the same time.

My program is GoMath. Any suggestions or feedback would be welcomed.
