Number of the Day

With this colourful and bright display, have your students complete daily practice of their number and place value skills by answering questions about the chosen number.
Questions include:

  • Write it in Words
  • Odd or Even
  • Next Odd Number
  • Next Even Number
  • 1 Less and 1 More
  • 10 Less and 10 More
  • 100 Less and 100 More
  • Expand It
  • Draw It
  • Tall Marks
  • Place Value
  • Use the Digits to Make the Smallest Number
  • Use the Digits to Make the Largest Number

This resource can be used year levels 1-4 and is a fantastic warm up or fast finisher activity. Print the pages that best suit your level!

Learning goals

  • We are learning to count collections of items (e.g. coins) and skip count by 5s or 10s to record how many in the collection.
  • We are learning to count in ones, twos, fives and tens, to and from 100.
  • We are learning to show that one- and two-digit numbers can be partitioned in different ways, such as partitioning two-digit numbers into tens and ones.
  • We are learning to count collections to 100 using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to recall addition facts to 20 and apply to related subtraction facts using a range of strategies.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for twos and apply to related division facts using doubling and halving.
  • We are learning to explore number sequences by twos, threes, fives and tens from any starting point.
  • We are learning to read, write, name and order numbers to at least 1000 using concrete and virtual materials, numerals and number lines.
  • We are learning to recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least 1000.
  • We are learning to explain and use the properties of odd and even numbers.
  • We are learning to identify and describe what makes a number odd or even.
  • We are learning to recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least 10 000.
  • We are learning to add and subtract two-and three-digit numbers using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to partition, rearrange and regroup numbers to 10 000 using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least tens of thousands.
