This week of practice pages build first graders' mathematical fluency. Each problem is tied to a specific mathematical concept. Daily practice through these quick activities will help your young mathematicians. Great formative assessment tool!

Just as athletes stretch their muscles before every game and musicians play scales to keep their technique in tune, mathematical thinkers and problem solvers can benefit from daily warm-up exercises. Jessica Shumway has developed a series of routines designed to help young students internalize and deepen their facility with numbers. The daily use of these quick five-, ten-, or fifteen-minute experiences at the beginning of math class will help build students' number sense. Students with strong number sense understand numbers, ways to represent numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems. They make reasonable estimates, compute fluently, use reasoning strategies (e.g., relate operations, such as addition and subtraction, to each other), and use visual models based on their number sense to solve problems. Students who never develop strong number sense will struggle with nearly all mathematical strands, from measurement and geometry to data and equations. In Number Sense Routines, Jessica shows that number sense can be taught to all students. Dozens of classroom examples -- including conversations among students engaging in number sense routines -- illustrate how the routines work, how children's number sense develops, and how to implement responsive routines. Additionally, teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the underlying math -- the big ideas, skills, and strategies children learn as they develop numerical literacy.

Each week of problems for first grade centers on a different animal. Accurate facts about the animal are presented to make the problems more realistic. Mathematic skills practiced include: - addition and subtraction facts - column addition - 2- and 3-digit addition and subtraction - counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s - reading and interpreting graphs and charts - reading and writing numbers and number words - fractions - time - money - measurement
