I'm always looking for good number of the day routines, and I found one on my own campus! One of my sweet 3rd grade teachers gave me the idea for this one. It covers a variety of number skills, and she plans on using the day in school as the number of the day. In the Subtract from square, she had 177, the number of days we have in our school year. I left it blank to give you options. We discussed a couple of ways this could be used. My favorite includes doing most of the problems whole group four days out of the week. I just love the mathematical conversations it would generate. On those four days, have the kiddos put the answers to a couple of the problems you don't do on sticky notes and put them on the Parking Lot. Vary the problems you choose each day, and this gives you a quick formative assessment option. On the fifth day, you could have the kiddos do the sheet independently for a grade. Change the problems up every so often to provide a spiraling review and keep the activity fresh. Click here to grab yours!
What a great idea! The 3rd grade teacher is lucky to have you to collaborate with, too! :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny, Peggy! (who is, by the way, my sweet 3rd grade friend) :)
DeleteI love this idea...do you know of a similar item for a very advanced kindergartener/first grader?
ReplyDeleteActually, the idea came from a very similar routine that my 1st grade teaches are doing--only they do their totally verbally. It's very similar though.
DeleteThanks for sharing all your great ideas! I teach sixth grade math and have adapted many of them for my group - today's sheet would be perfect for my Intervention group that needs a lot of review! Your teachers are very lucky to have such support from you AND your school is blessed with fantastic teachers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comment! I'm so excited to hear that some of my ideas are working for you and your kiddos. Isn't the Internet great??!!
DeleteOuted by my math coach!!! Thank you sooooo much for all your help! I was so excited today when my kiddos made connections between your number string lessons and our multiplication arrays! Yahoo!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was definitely a high-five moment, my friend!!
DeleteThis is great. Thank you so much!

DeleteI really like your Number of the Day activity but I am unable to grab a copy of my own. I've tried the link many times over the last 2 days and I keep getting an error message. Is there another way I can get a copy of this worksheet?
ReplyDeleteWere you ever able to get it? I think Google Docs was having a bad couple of days. If you didn't get it, email me at mathcoachcorner@gmail.com.
DeleteI also get errors message?? Would LOVE to have a copy for myself... THANK YOU!! LOVE your blog!
ReplyDeleteEmail me at mathcoachcorner@gmail.com if you still weren't able to get it.
