The Do Now Tasks are warm-up activities that can be used in middle school classrooms to strengthen students’ understanding of the prior grade-level topics that educators and researchers have identified as being most critical. They support the previous grade-level content that is foundational to the grade 6 work.

The teacher resources include possible solutions, potential student misconceptions, standards alignment information, and implementation suggestions. The packet is designed to be tailored to teacher use, with flexibility in order of how each worksheet is distributed in the classroom.
