Daily Routines to Jump-Start Geometry, Measurement, and Data, Grades K-5

By Dennis McDonald and John J. SanGiovanni

Geometry, measurement, and data aren't just math topics--they're fundamental skills for understanding the world around us

Geometry, measurement, and data concepts play a major role in everyday life. Yet, when it comes to teaching math in the elementary grades, these concepts can be overshadowed by other content, like number concepts, computation, or fractions. Instead, what if these ideas about measurement, geometry, and data were connected to number and computation? What if they were featured content for bursts of engagement, reasoning, and discussion? The bite-sized routines in this guide are just that

The routines in this book are perfect for teachers looking for interesting and doable daily practice that engage students in geometry, measurement, and data to foster reasoning, critical thinking, and sense-making. Daily Routines to Jump-Start Geometry, Measurement, and Data, Grades K-5 provides routines that are practical, easy-to -implement, and meant for quick engagements to ignite thinking and reasoning skills while being adaptable to various content.

Fortified with standards for math practices and processes, this book

Provides a collection of 20 routines with extensions and modifications for measurement, data, and geometry Includes a detailed example for each routine on why it matters, the challenges it addresses, and how to facilitate it in the classroom Offers guidance for selecting and introducing routines as well as how to design your own routines Helps you integrate the geometry, measurement, and data concepts earlier in the school year and can complement any curriculum or textbook program Features bonus activities that infuse money and time Extends learning through a companion website that includes each routine as a downloadable and an editable set of PowerPoint slides that provides templates for making your own examples

By implementing these daily routines, you can not only enhance your student′s understanding and engagement in geometry, measurement, and data but also foster a deeper connection between math and the real world.
