Note There does not need to be five lessons listed for the week with five different
number sense warm up activities.
You may wish to run one or two warm up activities for the week and differentiate
this as the week progresses. Students need practice at the same task to consolidate
the understanding.
Your focus lessons may need to run over two or three days if they are rich tasks
that require time and reflection. It is better to teach two or three good quality
lessons that run over five days than rush through five lessons.
