Daily 5 Math




I was so excited to start my own version of First Grade-Common Core-Daily 5 Math (that's a mouth full!) at the beginning of third quarter!  I aligned four work stations to first grade common core: (1) Numbers & Operations in Base 10, (2) Operations & Algebraic Thinking, (3) Geometry, (4) Measurement & Data.  The fifth work station is called "Reading Math." Students read books and poems about math and complete related activites. It has worked great so far. Students are getting meaningful practice and review each time they go to work stations. It has given me the opportunity to work with individual students and small groups. I would love to hear from other primary teachers who have math work stations/small group-guided math or use Daily 5 Math. Our Daily 5 Math ROCKS!!! I'm just saying...Photobucket

    3. Last year, (3rd & 4th quarter) was my "trial run." I plan on starting Daily 5 Math within the first month of school! I would love to hear your thoughts and plans.
