Following the success using the teaching resource High-Yield Routines in the 2023-2024 school year, the Robert J. Tait staff made a commitment to continue using the instructional strategies in the 2024-2025 school year. The commitment was for every class in the school to use one of the instructional strategies in the book for a month at a time. In every classroom in our school, classes would be focusing on the same routine and applying it to numeracy concepts in a grade level appropriate way. The Tait Staff believe learning these routines in all classrooms from K-7, will help students develop number fluency and learn common math language throughout their elementary school years (from kindergarten to grade 7).

Each month all classes will use a new High-Yield Routine. Teachers have made a commitment to complete a High-Yield Routine activity a minimum of once per week, with most classrooms completing a routine several times each week.

Our plan for learning different High-Yield Routines:

October - Chapter 1 - Today's Number

November - Chapter 2 - Mystery Number

January - Chapter 3 - Alike and Different

February - Chapter 4 - Number Lines

April - Chapter 5 - Quick Images

May - Chapter 6 - Guess My Rule
