Daily Routines to Jump-Start Math Class by John SanGiovanni is a book full of ideas to use in your classroom. There is a book for different levels, but we will be using the one for Elementary School. I know you won’t have a classroom of kids to use the routines with but that’s not really the point of this book study.
During the book study we will NOT be investigating the different types of routines in the book because they are fabulous and there isn’t much to investigate. When school starts back up, just open up the book and start using the routines. He gives examples for different math concepts throughout elementary school for each routine so no matter what grade level you will be teaching in the Fall, you can use the routines in this book.
The routines are Part 2 in the book. During the 5 weeks of the book study we will be looking at Part 1 and Part 3 of the book. Essentially we will look at why we should be using math routines and how to make it doable in your classroom.
