About Number of the Day
What this skill is
Number of the Day routines prompt students to represent a target number through multiple representations: digits, word forms, ten-frames, tally marks, addition bonds, and one more/one less relationships.
When children learn it
Used as a daily morning math routine across kindergarten and 1st grade classrooms, Number of the Day reinforces whole-number concepts throughout the entire school year.
Teaching Tips
- Keep a daily laminated sheet on the kitchen fridge: pick a number (like 7) and spend 5 minutes drawing 7 dots, writing the word "seven", and finding 7 on a ruler. This short daily routine makes classroom math feel natural.
Common Mistakes
- Representing the number in only one format and skipping more challenging areas like ten-frames or tallies.
- Making errors on "one less" when the target number ends in zero (such as naming one less than 10).
- Drawing unorganized tally marks without the diagonal fifth bundle slash.
