On Wednesday, January 18th, students in grade 1 & 2 attended a school-wide assembly to kick off an exciting math initiative. Two of our teachers dressed up as fact cards to amuse the audience and build excitement. To help them master math facts, students received a set of triangle fact cards to take home and keep. For the next month, they will be encouraged to keep track of time spent practicing with the cards. We will tally up all the students "Math Power Hours"and tie them in with some fun school-wide celebrations! Once we hit our first goal, 140 hours, we will spin the spinner and determine the type of celebration. Then we will start adding up hours for the next goal.
For tips on how to use the cards, check out these videos featuring some of second graders:
