Math Daily 3

I have finally figured out how to do Math Daily 3 in my classroom every day.
I know how important it is. I took the graduate class.
But has this ever happened to you?
You know you're suppose to do something and the students will totally benefit from it, but you can't figure out how to do it in your classroom.

This was me with Daily 5 Math.

We use Investigations. LOVE IT!
It doesn't lend itself to all the parts of Daily 5...or at least I thought it didn't.

Well, I finally figured it out.

Math with Someone

This is the game we play to reinforce all our skills for the unit.

Math by Myself

This could be the practice worksheet or a game they can play by themselves.

Math Writing

This could be the practice worksheet or something in their Math Journals.

It is so powerful for them to have choices.

How do you do Math Daily 3?

Have a wonderful day!

Math Daily 3 just a little introduction

I am in the middle of my grad course for this semester. I am taking Math Daily 3 from Upper Iowa University. It is the second one I have taken on the Daily 5/3 :)

Math Daily 3 goes along with our program Investigations. It just seems to flow with the whole sequence, schedule, everything.

After teaching the regular mini-lesson, there are focus lessons to be taught and then student and teacher choices.
This is where I start to LOVE it! The kiddos get to choose how they want to work on a strategy or concept taught. Brilliant! Investigations has built-in Math Workshop days and times, so this is going to be very easy for me to utilize in my classroom. The other thing I really like about this is that it is not an additional thing I have to do in my classroom. This will add to my time I can spend with individuals and small groups.
