Kindergarten Math Problem of the Day

A grown-up reads each problem aloud as needed. Use one problem a day as a morning warm-up, or cut them apart for math centers. Check with the key.

Five pages after the cover, with two months on each page and 3 problems per month. Problems include counting apples and ladybugs, missing numbers, which number is more, How many sides does a triangle have?, adding 2+1, number bonds and counting by tens. Each has a date line. The answer key is one page.

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten morning work, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

Morning work is a short page children do at the start of the day, while the teacher takes attendance or the family gets ready. Each daily page in these monthly sets has a name and date line, four short boxes and a star to color when the page is done.

November covers counting, writing numbers, more or fewer, shapes, beginning sounds and rhyming. December adds numbers to 20, ten frames, adding, short a and short i, and syllables. January moves on to subtracting, counting by 10s and short vowels. Every page has a sight word to trace, read in a sentence and draw.

Not yet. Each page tells the grown-up to read every box aloud, and then the child does the work and colors the star. Many children need less help as the month goes on, because the same kinds of boxes repeat.

No. The pages are short and the answers are simple, so it is quicker to look over the page together and talk about any box that was tricky.

Each monthly set is one download of 21 pages: a cover and 20 daily pages, Day 1 to Day 20. Print the whole month at once, or one week at a time.
