Daily Check-In Guide

In a 10-minute daily routine, students self-assess their emotions using visual tools, record their mood in a journal and graph, and teachers collect data to inform math instruction adjustments.

Regular emotional check-ins help students build self-awareness and a positive math environment. Tracking mood trends enables teachers to adapt lessons, provide targeted support, and foster social-emotional growth alongside academic skills.
