Our approach to effective classroom management, formerly Daily 5 and CAFE.
Ready-to-use lessons, tools and downloads to help teachers today.
When students make a connection, they use their prior knowledge and understanding of mathematics to help them solve a problem. For example, if a student encounters the problem 3 + 7, they may remember solving the problem 7 + 3 and recognize that this is the same problem, just written differently.
Each book below has a coordinating lesson with an explicit example to teach this strategy. Select a book cover below, then download the lesson to see for yourself. At The Daily CAFE these were called Lit Lessons.
There hasn't been a lesson created for this strategy yet. Check back soon, we create new content weekly.
At Teach Daily, we provide effective teaching methods and resources so any teacher can learn how to build the skills and confidence to recognize and meet the needs of all their students—daily.
