“Designing and implementing regular opportunities for students to develop, use, and apply number sense is the hallmark of effective teaching. In Daily Routines to Jump-Start Math Class: Engage Students, Improve Number Sense, and Practice Reasoning, author John SanGiovanni provides an incredible variety of number sense routines that will engage students in reasoning about mathematics in positive and productive ways. With 20 unique routines at their fingertips, teachers can mindfully and purposefully engage students in mathematics discourse that will bolster students’ learning strengths and needs.”

Beth McCord Kobett
Stevenson University, Stevenson, MD

“This is a fantastic collection of engaging and meaningful routines, a must-own for K–5 teachers. For teachers, the instructions are straightforward and the examples very helpful. For students, these are fun and challenging! For both, there are so many great routines, they won’t get `old’ and the routines address a great mix of mathematics (whole numbers, fractions, operations, geometry, etc.) and learning tools (number lines, pictures, graphic organizers, etc.). Estimation, such a difficult and important topic, is effectively addressed in numerous routines! I will be sharing the ideas from this book with teachers at all levels—Elementary Mathematics specialists and preservice teachers—helping them to see how many ways they can engage students in mathematical reasoning and sense-making!”
