Remember those traditional number of the day activities where you give the students a number and they have to write it in expanded form, word form, even or odd, 10 more, 10 less, etc.? 

These worksheets can seem like you are covering a bunch of standards in one worksheet, but how much do they actually encourage your students to think?

An equitable twist on a traditional activity

Try this simple, open-ended math routine that gets kids thinking and talking about math. All students can participate in this activity as they all have something they know about a number.
