Everyday

1. Everyday means usual or ordinary, used or done all the time, like everyday clothes. tree →
2. «Every day» (two words) means each day. tree →

In the lessons

maths: ordinary things in a story; the two words «every day» give a daily rate (total = daily amount × days); everyday maths: shopping, time and money; school: everyday objects in science; everyday life: everyday jobs like brushing your teeth

Note

«Everyday» carries no number, but «every day» means per day: total = daily amount × days. Trap: tell the one word from the two words: if you can say «each day», write two words. A week has 7 days.
