Back to School Math Activities to make your entire year run smoother! Spend two weeks teaching critical skills for math success from the start. Don’t feel that you’re wasting precious time teaching ‘non-curriculum’ topics!
Critical thinking and cooperative skills are crucial to the success of your program. These lessons also serve as a great opportunity to informally assess your students at the beginning of the year to know exactly where they are in their learning.
The content is meant to be review and, therefore, not new and or challenging allowing students to focus on the skills instead. Most lessons use Number Sense and Numeration concepts to teach the focused skills.
