I love doing a daily calendar routine.
It is ideal for using actual math terms...more than, less than, how much more, patterning, and creating visuals.
This packet has a calendar for students to record the date and special events.
They can keep track of the daily weather and temperature.
I enjoy having a meteorologist for the day.
A note goes home and they come prepared to report.
The journal part has students working with recording the date and working with the number of days.
1st grade this month is all about story problems for the math review.
Second grade changes the recording to add more writing and focuses on story problems. multiplying equal groups, expanded form, regrouping.
There are also vocabulary cards and numbers for a calendar or counting number of days.
