Here are some of the “mental math” activities that I used with my Numeracy students last year, which I will refer to as a “Warm Up” in the year to come. \u00a0Students would engage in this work individually after they responded to the exit ticket reflection prompt. \u00a0We would then discuss the “mental math” activity as a whole class, which then would lead into the “lesson launch.”<\/p>\n

I tried to have the skills developed in the “mental math” activity be ones that would be helpful to them during their group work. \u00a0The one pictured below was used as a precursor to a lesson about how their GPA is calculated.<\/p>\n
