PROJECT TITLE:
Every Day Counts
"Daily effort, daily improvement — because every math moment matters."
(A Daily Math Recovery and Reinforcement Routine for Junior High School Learners)
Proponent:
Judy-Ann Gurion
Toppan Integrated School
School Year 2025–2026
Project Description:
Every Day Counts is a classroom-based innovation designed to support junior high school
learners who struggle with basic math skills. It involves a consistent, 10-minute daily routine
at the start of every math class. The activities are focused on reinforcing foundational
mathematical concepts through simple, engaging, and level-appropriate tasks. With this
structured support system, learners build confidence, fluency, and readiness for higher-order
math lessons — one day at a time.
Focus:
Daily math skill-building routine to support slow learners.
Time Allotment:
First 10 minutes of every Math class.
Target Group:
Grades 7–10 (all learners, but especially those with weak math foundations)
What will it give:
It gives them a predictable start that builds math confidence.
It reviews basic math skills without overwhelming them.
It supports all grade levels with leveled or tiered content.
It maximizes every Math period for catch-up learning.
HOW TO IMPLEMENT?
1. Introduce to the learners
Emphasize that it's a daily booster to strengthen their math skills
Note: “We’ll spend 10 minutes each day doing fun and fast tasks to make you
better at math. It’s not graded — it’s to make you stronger.”
2. Set a Fixed Time and Signal
First 10 minutes of every Math period, with a bell sound.
This builds habit. Learners will come to expect it.
3. Prepare the Daily Tasks
Each day focuses on a basic math skill. We can rotate by week or follow a
weekly pattern:
Focus Sample
Day
Area Activities
Monda Basic Add, subtract, multiply,
y Operations divide
Tuesda Number Place value, rounding,
y Sense comparing
Wednesda Fractions & Visual models, simple
y Decimals problems
Word 1-step visual or contextual
Thursday
Problems questions
Review Game / Quiz Flashcards, bingo, quiz
Friday
Pairing relay
4. Use Level Tags or Color Codes
To support differentiation, Group learners silently or allow self-choice — avoid
labeling kids verbally.
Red for beginners, Yellow for developing and green for proficient.
5. Track Progress with a “Math Tracker”
Simple checklist or sticker chart per student
Example: “I mastered addition!” →
Weekly goal = at least 3 stars per learner
6. Monitor and Adjust
Observe:
Are students engaged or overwhelmed?
Do they finish on time?
Are they improving?
Make adjustments:
Reduce or increase task number
Use more visual tools
Add manipulatives (like counters or number lines)
