*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.

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

5. Why use Calendar Math?
*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.

6. What makes Calendar Math so
special?
Teachers look for students to gain mastery of the
CONTENT strands through their PROCESS of
understanding.
*Calendar Math promotes daily, mathematical
classroom discussion and critical thinking skills.
*Through questioning students have the opportunity to
communicate, share, and explain the relationships they
see and strategies they use to solve problems.
*Students are encouraged and challenged to approach
math with a critical eye, make connections, and learn
from each other.

7. Calendar Math and the PYP
*Calendar Math promotes the PYP concepts
through discussion and action. You can work so
many conceptual questions into EVERY Calendar
Math session!
*Listen to a few excerpts
from my class and see if
you know the math and
PYP concepts that are
being fostered!
