IntroductionThe focus of Middle-Grade Math Minutes is math fluency—teachingstudents to solve problems effortlessly and rapidly. The problems in thisbook provide students with practice in every key area of middle-grademath instruction, including basic multiplication and division factsmoneygraphingproblem solvingmeasurementfractionsplace valuetimepre-algebrathe vocabulary of mathematicsgeometryUse this comprehensive resource to improve your students’ overall mathfluency, which will promote greater self-confidence in their math skills aswell as provide the everyday practice necessary to succeed in a testingsituation.Middle-Grade Math Minutes features 100 “Minutes.” Each Minute consists often classroom-tested problems for students to complete in one minute.Each Minute includes questions of varying degrees of difficulty,integrating problem solving and basic math skills. This unique formatoffers students an ongoing opportunity to improve their own fluency in amanageable, nonthreatening format. The quick, one-minute formatcombined with instant feedback makes this a challenging and motivationalassignment students will look forward to each day. Students becomeactive learners as they discover mathematical relationships and applyacquired understanding to complex situations and to the solution ofrealistic problems in each Minute.3
How to Use This BookMiddle-Grade Math Minutes is designed to be implemented in numericalorder. Students who need the most support will find the order of skills asintroduced most helpful in building and retaining confidence and success.For example, the first time that students are asked to provide the value ofpi to the hundredths place, the digits in the ones and tenths places areprovided. The second time, the digit in the ones place is provided. It is notuntil the third time that students are asked the value of pi that they mustrecall the number without additional support.Middle-Grade Math Minutes can be used in a variety of ways. Use one Minutea day for warm-up activities, bell-work, review, assessment, or a homework assignment. Keep in mind that students will get the most benefitfrom their daily Minute if they receive immediate feedback. If you assignthe Minute as homework, correct it in class as soon as students are settledat the beginning of the day.If you use the Minutes as a timed activity, place the paper facedown on thestudents’ desks or display it as a transparency. Use a clock or kitchen timerto measure one minute. Encourage students to concentrate on completingeach problem successfully and not to dwell on problems they cannotcomplete. At the end of the minute, have students stop working. Then,read the answers from the answer key (pages 108–112) or display them ona transparency. Have students correct their own work and record theirscore on the Minute Journal reproducible (page 6). Then, have the class goover each problem together to discuss the solution(s). Spend more time onproblems that were clearly challenging for most of the class. Tell studentsthat difficult problems will appear on future Minutes and they will haveanother opportunity for success.4
Teach students strategies for improving their scores, especially if you timetheir work on each Minute. Include strategies such as leave more time-consuming problems for last come back to problems they are unsure of after they have completed allother problems make educated guesses when they encounter problems they areunfamiliar with rewrite word problems as number problems use mental math wherever possibleStudents will learn to apply these strategies to other timed-test situations.The Minutes are designed to improve math fluency and should not beincluded as part of a student’s overall math grade. However, the Minutesprovide an excellent opportunity for you to see which skills the class as awhole needs to practice or review. This knowledge will help you plan thecontent of future math lessons. A class that consistently has difficulty withreading graphs, for example, may make excellent use of your lesson in thatarea, especially if they know they will have another opportunity to achievesuccess in this area on a future Minute. Have students file their MathJournal and Minutes for that week in a location accessible to you both. Youwill find that math skills that require review will be revealed during classdiscussions of each problem. However, you may find it useful to reviewthe Minutes on a weekly basis before sending them home with students atthe end of the week.While you will not include student Minute scores in your formal grading,you may wish to recognize improvements by awarding additionalprivileges or offering a reward if the entire class scores above a certainlevel for a week or more. Showing students that you recognize their effortsprovides additional motivation to succeed.5
