Math Warm-Ups are meaningful math prompts to elicit math discussions. Math Warm-Ups allow students to communicate math understanding and solidify learning all through the year. When students do math warm-ups regularly they have a chance to strengthen their academic math language, deepen and connect old learning to new, and develop adaptive reasoning. This set of digital math warm ups align to the Building Math Community lessons of Total Math, but because they are focused on basic skills for the beginning of school, they can supplement any math adoption.
This is a PowerPoint file that can be used with Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides. The slides can be projected onto a screen or board. You can also print these and place them under a document camera.
There are 15 math warm-up slides for unit 3, one per lesson, for three weeks.
Total Math is a comprehensive, vertically aligned K-2 curriculum grounded in research for effective, evidence-based math practices and procedures. Each lesson plan includes all components for the total math block. All instructional materials for the entire math block are aligned and organized by lesson and standard--no more searching for all the different components. Everything is put together in each lesson and organized easily from number talks, fluency drills, math vocabulary, math strategies, whole group direct instruction, teaching slides, note-taking, teacher-led learning with differentiated math mats and materials, to hands-on math stations, application of skills pages, math journals, technology games, assessments, exit tickets, and reflection slides.

What Is Total Math?
Download the Free Scope and Sequence
Total Math provides lessons and materials in a framework of whole class direct instruction followed by teacher-led learning to monitor, support, and deepen mathematical understanding. This multifaceted framework supports flexibility in teaching yielding high-impact instructional practices with timely and relevant scaffolding and differentiation for all learners.
Total Math is a vertically aligned coherent curriculum. Mathematical ideas build on one another so students’ understanding and knowledge deepen while their ability to apply mathematics expands. Total math integrates conceptual understanding and procedural proficiency through the use of physical and visual models, multiple representations, academic language, flexible fluency, procedural strategies, connected content, and real-world connections.
Focused on creating a community of collaborative mathematical thinkers, Total Math components ensure a well-rounded math experience through varied learning structures and collaborative learning tasks. Parallel to the daily aligned learning options, scaffolded and differentiated materials provide equitable access to label-free teacher-led math support through high-quality content to meet varied instructional needs.
✏️The Total Math Classroom
The total math classroom provides the framework to learn together as a community of mathematical thinkers where math isn’t just numbers on a page–it’s an engaging, cooperative, hands-on experience.
A total math classroom is active! We talk about math, share our thinking, move to different activities in the room, and explore many ways to solve problems. We split our time between direct instruction, teacher-led learning, and cooperative and individual learning tasks.
Total Math provides a well-rounded math experience involving conceptual hands-on learning, procedural problem-solving, vibrant visuals, academic vocabulary, interactive technology, collaboration, and movement. Students actively participate in all facets of the learning as a community of confident and capable mathematicians.
