Okay so I teach math. I teach math to 4th graders. I love them, and I love the little bit of time i get in the classroom each day. It keeps me current, it keeps me learning, and it keeps me connected with the kids in my school in the best way I know how.
But yeah math. Not exactly my first choice to teach, and definitely not my strength as a teacher. But I like a challenge, and I like the chance to really streach my thinking and learning.
I am a firm believer that if something works really well in kindergarten, it can be adapted to work in upper grades, and will also work well (maybe better... sorry kindergarten teachers & thank for being awesome i love stealing things from you!).
So here is where my idea for Calendar Math 4.0 was concieved.

I've run this by a few people, one recommended I add in a way for kids to represent the number pictorally. (can you see where I could put this?) Any thoughts? Ideas?
