Mad Minute Math - Grade 1

Mad Minute Math is actually 3 minutes of math. This is a great routine to start right from the first day of school. It’s a short, no hassle assessment tool that helps to track progress, give students a confidence boost and frame conversations when an issue in math arises.

Each day students do one level, repeating that level until the skill is mastered. It starts with counting to 50, then moves on to backwards from 20, counting by 2’s, 5s, sorting shapes by corners, addition, measuring and other math skills. There are 59 levels in this package.
To hand out - I have a big three ring binder with 15 copies of each level, a post-it marking the beginning of the next level, a class list tells me what level they are on, I flip around the binder, calling students up one by one. At the end, they bring it up to have it checked and they put it in a duotang independently. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
It is an excellent way to reinforce math concepts taught in class that may otherwise not be revisited regularly enough for some students!
