Everyday Math

Everyday Math materials will be in my room until Thursday. If you would still like to look at them, please come down and check some out. Just as a reminder, kinder is currently using EM, as are 4 and 5. Lorrie has also used EM and can also be a resource for you. Here are some basics about the program.

• Daily Structure 60 min+ (Review with Math Message, Facts Practice, New Concept, Ongoing learning and practice with games and math boxes, HW) 
• K-2 Calendar Routines (not explicitly laid out for teacher- not spelled out in lesson). Calendar activities are less extensive and more focused just on traditional calendar activities
• Concepts are taught in units and then they spiral back into lessons within Math Boxes
• Students have their own workbooks called Math Journals 1^st-5^th
• Online suite of tools 
• Minute Math has some extra “quickie” problems by strand that teacher can use whenever 
• Teacher’s Manual lays out when concepts are taught throughout the program.

Please give us all feedback on the use/structure/approach of EM!
