90 minute math block? departmentalized 3rd grade...help!

by Ellis

Mar 7, 2009

We have been told we are going to departmentalize in 3rd grade.

I will teach a 90 minute math block and have to come up with how my block will be used. (schedule of class period sort of or things I will work on daily during this time)

Please share ideas of activities and ways to use this time wisely.

Thanks, Ellis/ 3rd grade

JAM I do math twice a day-- one block is 40 minutes and the other is 55 minutes. It is EASY to fill meaningfully!

My first block is Every Day Counts Math Calendar - it's a supplement I bought with a PTA grant. Costs about $180. It is an EXCELLENT hands-on way to review/introduce/spiral all the math strands. You can also buy PRactice Counts wor...See More
