DMR: Daily Math Review
• A quick review of concepts that have already been taught.• Time frame: 5 – 10 minutes• Ongoing review• Formative assessment• Data collection tool• Whole group instruction activity
Problem of the Day ORProblem of the Week
• A consistent format for problem solving.• Time frame: 5 – 10 minutes.• Can be used whole group or for independent student work.• Over time these problems become more complex.
Problem-Solving Strategies
• Draw a picture• Make a table• Look for patterns in the problem• Make a list (organized)• Try the problem, check the
quantities, revise it• Write a number sentence• Act out the problem if it has action• Use reasoning (what makes sense)• Work backwards• Solve a similar and simpler problem• Make a graph
Problem of the Day
Sam has four number cards: 4, 5, 8, and 2• What is the greatest 3-digit
number he can make?• The greatest 2-digit
number?• The least 3-digit number?• The least 2-digit number?

Literature and Mathematics
The Importance of Algebra• Pre-algebra and Algebra are the
foundation for higher level mathematics. So, why not teach starting in in the primary grades.
• It involves patterns, variables, charts, diagrams, and missing digits as well as missing numbers.
• Increase the rigor of mathematics during the early elementary grades and students will be mathematically ready in middle and high school.
Cyberchase

Background Knowledge
Background Knowledge
Building background knowledge in your students is important because:
• It helps to activate prior knowledge they have about a subject or concept
• Provides a foundation for learning a new concept
• Helps to develop schema
Background Knowledge
Add this to your teacher tool kit: Schema
A hierarchical representation of knowledge, connected to other related information.

Assessment
The purpose of assessment is NOT to take a grade.
The purpose of assessment is to check students’ progress, level of understanding of new knowledge, and teacher performance.
It is just as important to check students progress as it is to check for the success of instruction.
Types of Assessments• Formative and Summative• Paper and pencil• Entrance and Exit tickets• Project/Problem based learning• Individual or group projects• Creating a song or play• Incorporating art and music• Technology based • Student choice• Anything else creative that is not
the traditional paper and pencil
