Typical Day
Daily Routine (15-20 min)
Daily Lesson/Weekly Word Problem (30-40 min)
Closure (5-10 min)
Daily Routines (DR): Add new routines each week. Trade in and out old routines as necessary but
continue to have students practice and building skills with ALL routines.
Daily Lessons (DL): emphasize “big ideas” during daily Lessons
Weekly Word Problems (WWP): refer to CGI word problem matrix/chart. Vary word problems to meet
the needs of your students (12 word problem types should be introduced (Kinder), developed (1st
grade), and mastered by the end of 2nd grade)
Closure: Close each lesson with a review of the language and content objective
