The EDC 10

1. The Calendar presents a unique pattern every month.
2. Arrays provide visual representations of all factor pairs for numbers through 61, giving color-coded context and meaning to prime numbers and square numbers.
3. The Counting Tape represent as a decimal and as a fraction the number of days in school in relation to the first one hundred days.
Equivalent decimals, fractions and percents are recorded daily.
4. The Percent Circle works with the Counting Tape to represent the first one hundred days of school as a whole circle. Each day of school adds another one hundredth of the circumference to be shaded. This offers another way to represent decimal value.
5. Daily Circle uses circles in different contexts to let students explore angles, area and circumference and even probability.
