• Every IM K–5 lesson starts with an invitation to mathematics. This invitation is an engaging, brief activity called a warm-up routine. Each warm-up routine is designed to get students thinking and talking about math in ways that make sense to them. There are 10 different warm-up routines that your child might see throughout the year. This guide can help you know what to expect and how to participate.
