Classroom+Routines

Classroom Routines and Ten-Minute Math activities offer practice and review of key concepts at each grade level.

Classroom Routines occur at regular intervals, perhaps during morning meeting, at the beginning of math class, or at another convenient time. These short activities, designed to take no longer than 10 minutes, support and balance the in-depth work of each curriculum unit. After their first introduction in a math session, they are intended for use outside of math time. Some teachers use them at the beginning or end of the day.

In Kindergarten, four Classroom Routines are woven through the seven curriculum units. Your "//Implementing Investigations in Kindergarten"// contains complete procedures for these activities, including the variations intended for use in Kindergarten. Specific suggestions for use are found in Today's Plan for each session. It is recommended that you begin with suggested daily problems and adapt them to fit the needs of your students throughout the year.
