- High yield math routines (R Drive - 2015/2016 - LLT & Math) In this book, we present seven easily implemented mathematical routines that may be used effectively at a variety of grade levels and with a variety of mathematical content. We also provide some ideas for infusing mathematics into the nonmathematical routines that take time away from instruction.

Setting the stage
Time
•Is there time for discussion
•Is there time for small group work
•Is there time to address individual student needs
Space
•Are there “hands-on” materials
•Are the materials easily accessible
•Does the room arrangement promote collaboration
Atmosphere:
•Are the students encouraged to take risks
•Are the students discussing and defending their mathematical positions
•Are students encouraged to continue to persist on their own and/or in groups to find solutions
Flexibility:
•Are teachers providing the answers or asking questions that allow students to make sense of the math
•Is the lesson teacher directed or is there a mix of small group, whole group and individual
