Daily Practice and Problems

The Daily Practice and Problems (DPP) is a set of short exercises that provides a structure for ongoing review and study of math concepts, skills, and math facts. To support this daily routine, at least two DPP items are included for each class session. Nine icons designate the subject matter of the DPP items.

Algebra
Computation
Data
Geometry
Math Facts
Measurement

You and your students will need: a monthly calendar, 20 connecting cubes, number lines, ten frames, 12-inch rulers, connecting links, coins, pattern blocks, and a 100 Chart readily available. You will also need pennies, nickels, dimes, and a chain of links in a repeating pattern.


Distribute DPP items to students. Display and read each item to prepare students to
work independently. Follow with a class discussion of their solutions and strategies.

Practice of the Addition Facts

Some DPPs focus on the development of the addition facts and the related subtraction facts. See Figure 1. See the Letter Home for more specifics about the math facts strategies developed in the DPPs in this unit.

Unit DPP Addition Facts Strategies Used Focus
6   Groups A and B Counting On, Zero Develop mental math strategies and number sense.
7   Group C sums to 10 Making Ten, Using Ten
8   Group D sums to 10 Using Doubles
9 A, B, C, D, M, N, T Groups A and B: 0 + 1, 1 + 1, 2 + 1, 3 + 1, 0 + 2, 2 + 2, 3 + 2, 4 + 2, 3 + 0, 4 + 0, 4 + 1, 5 + 1, 6 + 1, 5 + 2, 6 + 2, 5 + 3, 7 + 1, 1 + 8 Counting, Zero, Thinking Addition Use strategies fluently and solve fact families.
10   Group C sums to 10 Making Tens, Thinking Addition
11   Group D sums to 10 Using Doubles, Thinking Addition
12   Group A Counting, Zero, Thinking Addition


Use strategies fluently for facts with sums to ten.

Develop mental math strategies and number sense and solve fact families for facts with sums more than ten.
13   Group B Counting, Zero, Thinking Addition
14   Group C Making Ten, Thinking Addition
15   Group D Using Doubles, Thinking Addition
16   Group E Making Ten, Using Ten, Thinking Addition
17   Group F Making Ten, Using Ten, Thinking Addition
