I probably should have had a plan before the school year started, but here’s what I’m thinking for warm ups this year:
Monday – Estimation 180
Tuesday – Number Talk/Visual Patterns like what Sara says (even though she says to do it all in a row instead of once per week but oh well)
Wednesday – Notice and Wonder with 101qs
Thursday – Debate with Would You Rather Math and Which One Doesn’t Belong
Friday – Reflection (one good thing, what you learned, what you need help with) and a different warm up each week. Set, counting circles, graphing stories, other fun things from Lisa and Jessica’s TMC16 session. That could be a terrible idea or maybe it’ll be great. I don’t know. We’ll see.
I want to go back to having a sheet for warm ups. Here’s what I have so far. What do you guys think I should change? I’ll make it all pretty this weekend.

I like how your warm-ups fit the whole week on one page – I’m going to have to see if I can do that, too. When you do Estimation 180, do you do a series (e.g., heights or cheeseballs) or do you do them at random?

It depends on time. Usually, since Estimatoin 180 doesn’t take too long, I’m able to do at least two from a series. But it’s usually random.
