Today was the first day of school and an early release day. After all the teacher training I did over the summer, I'm super excited for this year to start! I had the students create note cards with the following information on it, just so I can get to know them better:
1. Name 2. Something special or unique about them. 3. How they feel about math 4. What are they most looking forward to this year (in school) On the back, they were to choose 4 numbers that tell something about them. For example, my numbers were: 4 ⅓ 602 36.25 54,000 First, I gave the kids a chance to guess what these numbers meant. I love hearing these guesses! One of my favorites is that I have $54,000 in my bank account. :) After they've had a chance to guess, I give them the answers and let them match which answers go with which number. My age. The amount of time in a day I am asleep. The area code of my cell phone number. Approximately the number of miles on my car. The number of people who live in my home. I love hearing all the "oh"'s and "ah"s as they figure it out! With whatever time is left, I allow the kids to come up and share their numbers.
