NUMBER SENSE & REASONING ROUTINES
Designed TO BUILD COMMUNITY & STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
DESIGNED TO BE USED AS CLASS STARTERS, TRANSITIONS BETWEEN ACTIVITIES, OR AS CLOSURE.
THE NUMBER SENSE ROUTINES IN OUR PRESENTATIONS INCLUDE: 'WOULD YOU RATHER?', 'WHICH ONE DOES NOT BELONG?', 'HOW DO YOU KNOW?' AND MANY OTHER ROUTINES THAT WILL CHALLENGE YOUR STUDENTS TO MAKE CONNECTIONS, DEVELOP NUMBER SENSE, BUILD VOCABULARY, FORMULATE JUSTIFICATIONS AND BECOME BETTER PROBLEM SOLVERS AND LOGICAL THINKERS.
WHY SHOULD I USE MORE NUMBER SENSE ROUTINES AND LESS LECTURE IN MY CLASSROOM?
Have you ever said "my students don't know how to think?!" Perhaps your students read a problem then immediately say they don't know how to do it without trying or without even taking a moment to think about the question. These number sense routines are a great way to get your students THINKING & TALKING ABOUT MATH and improving their PROBLEM SOLVING abilities. We want our students to learn how to solve problems without giving up!
