We run our math block similar to our Daily 5 Reading. We begin with a brief math meeting which is a review of skills. Then I meet with the first graders for their math lesson. During this time, second graders make a math choice. Unlike our reading choices, our math choices change on a weekly basis. This week our choices are based on number operations. The students can choose between several math games, missing number puzzles, hot dot pens, and addition and subtraction dominoes.
After the first grade math lesson is over, the first graders work on their assignment with our Title I teacher assisting them with questions. I meet with the second graders for their math lesson, and while the second graders work on their assignment, the first graders make a math choice. The students really enjoy all the different choices since they are very hands-on and usually involve working with a friend.
