Introduction
(10 minutes)- Explain to the students that today they will be reviewing their math facts while completing fun puzzles.
- Ask the students to stand next to their desk for a brain warm up exercise.
- Play a quick game of Math Around the World: a game in which two students stand at a desk, and the caller (usually the teacher) gives them a math question. The student who answers correctly and with the fastest time moves to the next desk, and the student with the incorrect or slowest answer sits down.
Beginning
- Allow students to play the game in a small group with supportive students or peers with the same home language (L1).
Intermediate
- Review key terminology regarding the different math questions students will answer during the game. (e.g., multiply, times, divided by, plus, minus, equals)
- Provide a visual of each math problem called out during the game.
