Daily Calendars and Interactive Activities

These calendar activities have been an important part of my daily activities.

They are ideal for creating real world math problems.

How many days?...write word, tallies, number

Today is Tuesday.  How many days until Friday?

Yesterday it was 67 degrees.  Today it is 73 degrees.  Is it warmer or colder today? How many degrees?

And so much more.

Each student will receive a journal to keep for their daily record keeping.

There is a weather chart and temperature grids for recording.

I love the daily independent record keeping with a math review at the bottom.

Final there are numbers 1 to 31, an anchor chart with vocabulary and vocabulary cards for posting related to the month.

Find it here.

Then to accompany the calendar I think you will love this new packet designed to use with your white board.

They will work with both google and power point slides.

There are also pages that match some of the slides for student interaction.

Shown below is September but the packet contains slides for an entire year.

Reviewing Math Skills with the Calendar

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.
