Thinking About Math Routines...

As we finish all the literacy testing, I thought people may be turning some attention to math.   When you are planning your math routines this year, please be mindful of including starters and fluency practice in your lessons (whether you have chosen to do work stations, whole class or a combination of the two).

While watching the Virtual Math Summit, I am always sure to watch Steve Wyborney and this year proved to be equally valuable.  He has a variety of interesting starters that can be added to your math routines or used as mini-lessons depending on your intention.  This year he has created lessons for the first 20 days.  The nice thing about this is that these lessons are all completely new so if you use them, you can still go onto his site and use the Esti-Mysteries, Splat, etc.  These activities promote number sense and flexible thinking.  Have fun!
