Mental Routines

This page leads to the 4 levels as well as How To ideas for implementation of the mental routines.

Our first activities are based on using dice. Follow the MRs with Dice link to access them. Then ther are some M-Rs that focus on Fractions, a topic that we all need to cover and which causes a great deal of anxiety for children.

Bottle tops are a free resource that comes in a variety of colours. This makes them perfect for hands on mental routines. I like to use them for place value activities although the imagination is the only limit on the ways that can be used.
