Math Number and Problem of the Day

For the past couple of weeks, we have been doing math number and problem of the day together.  We first do it as a group on the smartboard then the students record it in their math notebooks. 
To explain, the number of the day is a 2-digit number.  Students have to tell me different ways to make the number.  We might give answers such as even or odd, printing the number word, using coins to make that amount, drawing ten frames, using base ten blocks, using tally marks, or writing the numbers that come before and after. 
Then there is a word problem for the students to work through.  They have to find the number sentence and answer.  Then answer the word problem in a complete sentence.
Starting next week, the students will be asked to do this on their own.
