How to Use the May Problem of the Day Calendar:

If this is the first time you’re trying out my problem of the day calendars, let me explain. This is more than simply a math problem to solve each day of the month.

These are unique because the solution is equal to the date.

This allows for kids to self-check.

This is also helpful if the problem is a little more advanced than your child is used to, because though they may not know how to solve it right away, they know what the solution is supposed to be.

They can then use problem solving strategies and prior knowledge to try and solve it.

Obviously, you will want to use the daily problem to have a math discussion, because kids could simply write the answer without doing the math. So just be sure they know they must explain their thinking for each problem.

And as always, these calendars are in black and white on a single page for easy printing. 🙂

  1. I picked up this wonderful Math problem calendar for April and introduced it to my 7 year old that I homeschool. She loves it! She also quickly picked up on the fact that the answers to each equation correspond to the day of the month…LOL.
    Thank you for offering these clever calendars for free! So appreciate them!
