The number of the day page was super self explanatory. I grabbed our crayons and a pencil and invited Big Brother to join me.
Note: There are two versions of the sheet – one has labels written above the expanded notation boxes so that kids know to write the hundreds, tens and ones and a second option does not include those labels so you can use it with students who are ready for a little challenge. This first round, I wanted Big Brother (age 6.5) to work on a number that had three digits so I typed in 124 and hit print. I’m a bit of a font geek so I made the number of the day sheets editable in case you wanted to make the number written in the box at the top of the page match the rest of the paper. Grab the printable below and then hop over to become a VIP Plato Pack member so you can get all of the tools, strategies and support you need to reach ALL of your learners. They are such an easy way to differentiate for a variety of learners during morning work or math rotations. Working on a number of the day gives kids practice with place value, expanded notation, odd and even numbers… so many math skills in one simple activity.
