Classroom Routines (K-3) and Ten-Minute Math Activities (3-5) are brief activities, designed to provide practice and review over the course of the year, that require 10-15 minutes of additional daily work, outside of math time. Some teachers do these activities at the same time every day while others vary the time, depending on the day\u2019s schedule. Some always append the Classroom Routine\/Ten-Minute Math to the day\u2019s lesson, while others do these activities at the beginning or ending of the school day, or before or after lunch, recess, or gym. When<\/em> is not critical. What is critical is that students get regular opportunities to practice and review the important content in their grade.<\/p>\n

The Classroom Routines and Ten-Minute Math Activities are a crucial part of the practice and review that\u2019s built into the Investigations<\/em> curriculum. For example, after working with place value concepts in Unit 3, second graders practice representing numbers and determining amounts in the Classroom Routines in subsequent units. In addition, there is some content that is almost exclusively addressed through the Classroom Routines and Ten-Minute Maths (e.g. telling time).<\/p>\n

The following videos show a Classroom Routine\/Ten-Minute Math Activity in action, in each grade. As you watch, think about:<\/p>\n

  • What math ideas are students working on?<\/li>\n
  • How might students benefit from regular experience with an activity like this one over the course of the year?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Kindergarten: Today\u2019s Question<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Students discuss their responses to Today\u2019s Question \u2013 \u201cDo you have a dog as a pet?\u201d They describe and interpret the data, which was collected on a two-column chart with the headings \u201cYes\u201d and \u201cNo.\u201d They count and compare quantities, and discuss what the data tells them about their class.<\/p>\n
