DAILY NUMBER INVESTIGATION

A Daily Math Journal for Number Sense, Mathematical Thinking, Problem Solving & Academic Discourse

Transform your daily "Number of the Day" routine into a powerful mathematical thinking experience.

This comprehensive 120-page resource helps students investigate numbers deeply through reasoning, problem solving, discussion, representation, reflection, and real-world application.

Rather than simply identifying a number, students learn to think like mathematicians by exploring patterns, relationships, structures, and mathematical ideas hidden within numbers.

Students learn to ask:

• What can I discover about this number?

• How can I represent it?

• What patterns exist?

• How does this number connect to other numbers?

• What mathematical ideas does it reveal?

• How can I explain my thinking?
