What is Calendar Math?What is Calendar Math?*An interactive Math Board designed to supplement math

instruction.

*Its elements are focused on mathematical relationships central to the curriculum.

*These elements change throughout the year while continuing to offer daily visual exposure to math concepts.

*It offers students multiple chances to gain strength in ALL 5 Math CONTENT strands, which include Number Sense, Pattern and Function, Shape and Space, Measurement, and Data Handling.

You can see how doing just one session of Calendar Math for the month of March alone, helps students practice skills

within every CONTENT strand!

Pattern and Function: 4 times Data Handling: 3 times Shape and Space: 3 times Measurement: 5 times Number Sense: 12 times

*A little time = A lot of MATH!!

*Constructing mathematical understanding takes time, more than just a unit of study.

*With Calendar Math, students have an entire year to explore critical concepts multiple ways.

*It provides constant review and preview over an extended time rather than within one unit.
