This Google Sheet is an adaptation of that classroom activity designed to be projected onto a large TV screen for whole class viewing.
An aspect of the calendar in Number Corner is multiple levels of patterns emerging throughout the month. There is a strong emphasis, prior to displaying the date, of what comes next within a particular pattern.

In Number Corner with Graph version there are data tables on the right of the calendar and graphs below. As the month progresses the class will collect data on how many shapes such triangles, squares, and circles, and how many of each fraction type. As the data in the tables change so will the graphs below the calendar.
The Days in School are tallied with alternating blue and red for groups of ten. Each day a new cell can be filled in for days in school. The number line is a Google Drawing in which one can use drawing tools to solve the number sentence. The text box can be used to model the number or create number sentences that equal days in school.
While the Google Sheet was not designed to replicate the classroom Number Corner, it does aim to reinforce the goal of pattern recognition and prediction.
