Patterns Scoot!

We played another round of Scoot, this time with pattern cards.  Students had 32 patterns that they had to solve.  They were able to use calculators, which automatically makes math better with my students.  They did very well with these and enjoyed getting up and moving around.

Tree Diagrams

After a few lessons on tree diagrams, I had the students create one on their own.  They were able to choose whatever they wanted, as long as they were able to create combinations.  Most students created similar ones to the example that we created, ice cream combinations, cake combinations, etc.  These are two of the more creative diagrams that really stood out.

Time for a little Buddy Study!

With benchmarks quickly approaching, we took a little time out yesterday to study our History flashcards with a friend (or two).   I was very impressed with the amount of quizzing and reviewing that I heard going on.  Kids were not only asking each other the questions, but they were also explaining answers if they were answered incorrectly.  Bravo!
