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.
Geometry
Math Facts
Measurement
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.
