If you want to know what it looks like to launch Math by Myself in first grade using the 10 Steps, this is a must watch video. These 12 minutes will show you steps one through nine. If you have already launched Daily 5 Read to Self, you will see the similarities and borrowed principles which both so successful.

Notice how they only introduced the first two student behaviors during this initial launch. Just as we do with Read to Self, we like to build the I-Chart gradually with younger students.

The goal is to give students enough information to experience success while keeping each lesson brief and focused.
