Introduction to the Teacher Introduction to the Teacher Just as physical warm-ups help athletes prepare for more strenuous types of activity, mental warm-ups help students prepare for the day s lesson while reviewing what they have previously learned. The short warm-up activities presented in this book provide teachers and parents with activities that help develop and reinforce skills involving fractions and decimals. Each page contains five warm-ups one for each day of the school week. Used at the beginning of class, warm-ups help students focus on topics related to fractions and decimals. This book has been divided into two sections: the first section focuses on fractions, while the second presents decimals. The skills in each section are presented in a progressive order. Generally, students should master the skills at the beginning of a section in order to successfully complete the activities that are at the end of a section. However, the five activities that are presented on any given page do not need to be presented in a sequential order, since they all relate to the same topic or skill. For example, the third warm-up activity on the Multiplying Fractions page may be presented before the first one. Suggestions for use: Copy and cut apart one page each week. Give students one warm-up activity each day at the beginning of class. Give each student a copy of the entire page to complete day by day. Students can keep the completed pages in a three-ring binder or folder to use as a resource. Make transparencies of individual warm-ups and complete the activities as a group. Provide additional copies of warm-ups in your learning center for students to complete at random when they have a few extra minutes. Keep some warm-ups on hand to use as fill-ins when the class has a few extra minutes before lunch or dismissal.
