Daily 3 math

I need to start out this chapter first and foremost by saying that most of the time I was reading it, I felt like I was nodding in agreement, because...

The Daily 5 offers valuable independent activities to build my students’ literacy skills, so it’s natural that I wanted to extend the same kind of framework to math. After all, a format that strengthens foundational skills while I can reteach or run small groups should really be the goal across every subject! The Math Daily 3 is the Sisters’ solution to this. The set-up is even simpler than the Daily 5, with three tasks for students to do independently. Here are my notes for this section: As…

When the second edition of The Daily 5 came out earlier this year I was thrilled to see the authors included a chapter about math. The ideas in the first edition of The Daily 5 really changed my classroom for the better by helping me create independence with my young learners, which allowed me to more easily work with small groups and individuals.

Of course, this made me feel really bad that we were having to do a whole group lesson today instead of math rotations, but on the other hand, it reminded me HOW MUCH my…

Math Daily 3? What?? Yep, that’s what Chapter 8 is all about and I have to say, I like it. I already do a lot of what they describe, we use Investigations (for better or worse) so the math games are a check, and whole group is something I do well…if I do say so...

Hello Friends, This is Cindy from Love Those Kinders. I thought I would share a little about how I tweaked Daily 5 to work for me and my plan for implementing Math Daily 3. First of all, I want to say that Daily 5 changed my life - literally! Before Daily 5, I spent EVERY single weekend preparing literacy centers for my kinders.
