5-10 minute video lesson (see below) followed by video directions for the activity that students will complete on their own. Combined video not to exceed 10 min K-2 and 15 min 3-5 as a guideline.
Focus in Mathematics
Focus in Mathematics
Students should spend the large majority of their time on the major work of the grade. The Standards call for a greater focus in mathematics. Rather than racing to cover topics in a mile-wide, inch-deep curriculum, the Standards require us to significantly narrow and deepen the way time and energy is spent in the math classroom. We focus deeply on the major work of each grade so that students can gain strong foundations: solid conceptual understanding, a high degree of procedural skill and fluency, and the ability to apply the math they know to solve problems inside and outside the math classroom. Grade level standards
You should continue with the resources that you are using in your building following the established district curriculum .
Over the course of a week, video lessons should provide students an opportunity to participate virtually in a balance of learning activities that build and require conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and application.

Conceptual understanding should support number sense
Procedural fluency should provide opportunities to use “skill[s] in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently, and appropriately” (NRC, 2001; CCSS, 2010; NCTM, 2014).
Flexibility: the ability to choose, understand and explain multiple methods for producing accurate answers efficiently
Accuracy: solving problems using an appropriate method by following the right steps in the right order to arrive at a correct answer
Efficiency is what we normally think of fluency as. It is a combination of rate (the speed and accuracy in completing math facts/tasks) and automaticity (the ability to perform a math operation so often it becomes automatic).
Appropriately: the selected strategy fits the problem
Applications of conceptual understanding and procedural skills with story problems
Math games: not all math games are created equal. Games should align with the standards and provide opportunities for feedback and teacher intervention, if needed
Skill building: programs, such as IXL, Moby, Dreambox, etc. require oversight and are NOT core instructional materials. Students need to work in areas aligned to the standards being addressed.
Number talks can (and should) continue if you are using them. Sherry Parrish "Number Talks" is a great resource that has several examples that progressively build.
Manipulatives
Manipulatives
Manipulatives are an important part of the math learning experience. There are online manipulative tools available, but they would require teaching. We need to be mindful of access/equity for students. Not all students will have access to school-like manipulatives, so what can we use as alternatives (for example, household items to count: macaroni noodles).
These Learning apps are based on the visual models featured in Bridges, but provide items such as number lines, fractions, geoboards, frames, clocks, money, shapes, number racks (Rekenreks), etc. In addition, you can find free virtual manipulatives through:
