Every Day Counts? Calendar Math is . . .

• . . . a supplemental math program, using
  an interactive bulletin board to provide students
  with a continuous learning experience through
  repeated and shared exposure.

3
Every Day Counts? Calendar Math focuses on . . .

• powerful math instruction in 10-15 minutes per
  day.
• gaining mathematical understanding through
  repeated exposure.
• building key math concepts a little at a time,
  over time.

4
Every Day Counts? Calendar Math works to. . .

• encourage students to communicate in the language
  of mathematics.
• offers the opportunity to learn math visually by
  seeing numbers represented in a variety of ways,
  all day, every day.
• present and practice major concepts through a
  variety of bulletin board elements each month.

5
Every Day Counts? Calendar Math means . . .

• . . . just a little . . .
• EVERY DAY!

6
Every Day Counts? Calendar Math

• is organized by month.
• promotes continuity through the grades with the
  Calendar, Counting Tape, Daily Depositor,
  Measurement, Graph.
• uses grade specific elements which vary to match
  grade level curriculum.

Do the Big Three DAILY

• Calendar
• Counting Tape
• Daily Depositor
• Always update elements,
• but rotate discussion

10
Grade 3 Beginning of the YearCalendar

• Start with blank calendar.
• Look at the name of the month and the days of the
  week.
• Have students say, September 1st is on
  Wednesday.
• Have students name the shapes. Notice circle,
  square patterns.
• Is a square still a square when it is rotated
  (like on Day 4).

11
Grade 3 Beginning of the YearCalendar, Odd and
Even

• On several days during the month, invite a number
  of volunteers equal to the days date to pair up.
  
• Children can see that when the pairs come out
  evenly, with none left over, the date is an even
  number.
• If one child is left without a partner, it's an
  odd number.

• Later in the month we can ask students to predict
  and describe a future piece. Encourage everyone
  to explain his or her reasoning.

Counting Tape

• The Counting Tape keeps track of the number of
  days students are in school.
• In Grades K2, students learn to sequence numbers
  and recognize place value.
• In Grades 36, students learn multiples,
  decimals, and percent.

14
Grade 3 Beginning of the YearCounting Tape

• Increase children's number sense over time.
• Each day one 3" colored paper square will be
  attached to the Counting Tape.
• Colors alternate each day.
• Draw a Zero the Hero face on 10, 20, 30, and so
  on to highlight each completed group of ten.
• On some days, have this number of students stand
  and pair up to show how even numbers break up
  into twos, with no leftovers.
• When students pair up and there is a person left
  without a partner, the number is odd.

15
Grade 3 Beginning of the YearCounting
Tape(Continued)

• To reinforce even and odd numbers, you might want
  to record a vertical list of even numbers and
  circle the ones place.
• Do the same with odd numbers.

16
Grade 3 Beginning of the YearCounting
Tape(Continued)

• On the Hundred Chart, circle the new day of
  school and then circle any earlier day. Invite
  the class to compute the difference and ask
  volunteers to share their strategies
• E.g. for 13-8 a student might say, It takes 2
  to get to 10 and 3 more to 13. Thats five.

Daily Depositor

• Teaches place value.
• In the primary grades, students collect items and
  regroup hundreds, tens and ones.
• In the intermediate grades, students deposit or
  withdraw money for each day of school.

19
Grade 3 Beginning of the YearDaily Depositor

• Introduce the Daily Depositor soon after school
  starts.
• Invite one child to hold 1 for the first day, a
  second child holds 2 for the second day, and so
  on until the current day.
• Predict the total for Day 5. Have students share
  their computation strategies.
• Deposit the money and record digits above each
  pocket to show the total.
• Predict the date when youll reach 50, 100, and
  1000.

21
Grade 3 Beginning of the YearComputations and
Connections

• Students arrange a number of counters equal to
  the days date to show a double or neighbor
  (double plus one) addition fact.
• Make a record of each number on the Double Ten
  Grid and review the facts throughout the year.

Grade 3 Beginning of the YearGraph-Probability
Experiment

• Early in September, look at the calendars ab
  color pattern. On even numbered days, half of the
  pieces are red and half are green.
• Two blank red pieces and two blank green pieces
  are placed in a paper bag.
• Draw a piece each day and graph the results.
  Replace the piece after each draw.

• Ongoing Assessment
• How old are you? Is that an odd or an even
  number?
• How would you describe the numbers in the pattern
  3, 6, 12, 15, 18, 21?
• Write two multiples of 3 that are even numbers.

Every Day Counts? Calendar Math

• Since starting this program, I have noticed
  the childrens increased interest in numbers,
  patterns, and grouping. Through daily exposure to
  Every Day Counts, the children are gaining a true
  understanding of numbers and a firm foundation in
  a variety of mathematical concepts.
