What are Math Dates?
It is the date written as a mathematical expression. It is a great way to practice fluency math standards and build number sense in a quick routine, daily. You can use this in any class, virtual or in-person!

What will you find in this resource?

• Powerpoint Slides- Editable
• Explanation of Math dates & activities
• 8 slides (4 different color ways) to use for daily routine of solving the expression or writing your own.
• August Dates & September dates on a FULLY editable Google Document.
  • You get a date for every day in the month (so you can use it year after year).
  • The dates are written like this: 8.9 + 0.1/ 0.9 + 0.1/ 1 x 20.
    Please note that the / is between the month/day/year not division. I bolded the day to visually separate, but you can change that.
  • A rationale is included for each week's theme to help you understand how I chose the numbers or operations. This can also help you to structure your debrief of how students solved. (See my blog for more ideas on how to structure a share of student thinking & debrief)

How can you use the Math Attitude Survey in your classroom?

• Establish a daily routine for students to solve the expression
• Teach students how to explain their thinking after solving
• Ask students to write their own expression for the date
• Teach, Review, or Reinforce math standards
• Build number sense
