More Rob Profitt-White

Creating Rich Routines

In pairs, give out dice - 2 dice to some, 4 to others, 6 to others. 

  1. Pairs create either ones, tens, or hundreds depending on how many dice they have. 
  2. What's one more, what's one less?
  3. Add them together, subtract one from the other.
  4. Show them both on a number line.

Lucky Dice Game
100s board. Dice. Select a number. 
Roll a dice. Question to pose - will skip counting in that number you rolled land you on that number you select? If it does land on their number, they get a point. If it doesn't, I get the point.



Notes to my future forgetful self
- a notebook where kids can write things to job their memories - non examples etc.

Resource books are procedurally based!

Elements of a good maths programme - Knowing (blue) Revisiting (yellow) Doing (green)
Knowing (blue) - procedural. Worksheets. Oxford books.
Doing (green) - DMIC 
Revisiting (yellow) -moveNprove, revisitNretrain, discussNdefend, recallNreason

moveNprove is related to the unit - linked to the anchor task.
revisitNretain - scrap paper question. Short, purposeful, fluency quiz
discussNdefend - other strands
recallNreason - academic games to monitor fluency
