Week 3


Today's class began with a great card game that encouraged mental math.  

This is how you play:

Have students choose 5 cards and a target card and lay them out in front of them, with the target card representing the solution.  They must solve the equation using operations mentally (no writing things out!)  This was fun and challenging.  A way you could switch it up is giving all of the students the same target number and once they solve the problem they can share their thinking process with the class.  So much fun.
