Calendar Math IntroductionCalendar math should be a short period of time set aside each
day for the students to review daily math skills. The regular use of calendar math helps students development a strong
number sense, flexibility, and fluency, which will support their performances on many mathematical tasks. The calendar math activities suggested in this presentation cover routine
topics such as the calendar, days of the week, counting, time, money, weather, patterns, and graphing. Even though these
topics are covered in other units, they also need to be addressed on an ongoing basis. The following slides are to be used as a guide. Please add additional skills as you feel your
students are ready. Some teachers may also wish to use a bulletin board in their classroom in place of this presentation. If you choose to do so, still be sure to cover all of the topics
addressed in this presentation. Calendar math should be fun and engaging!
Monthly Activities- At the beginning of the month, write the month at the top. Do this in front of students so they understand this concept. By the end of the year they may write it.- At the start of each month mark special events, holidays and birthdays with clipart.
Daily Questions/Activities:- What month is it? How many months are in a year? (Sing a month of the year song)- Write in the date (you may wish to make it a pattern by using different colors and then have kids predict what comes next. Be sure to watch for correct number formation as they are writing). Later in the year, the students may write the number themselves.- Put your finger on the date and slide it up. What day is it?- Have students state the date in a sentence "Today is ____ (day), ____ (month) _____ (date), ______ (year)."
