Yummy Math Munchies!

The celebs have enjoyed some tasty math munchies during our new math station rotations. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons the celebrities visit Math Munchie Snack Stations. Okay...no there is no reall food--instead there are great math activities individually designed to fit each celebrity's math need. Students visit the Orchard station and enjoy online math learning that fits their math brain perfectly. Study Island is another great online source that, again, provides online math games designed to meet each celebs math need. Study Island games are played on the laptops we check out from POWER teachers. Dyna-math is a fun math magazine that combines current pop culture with math computation. Word of Math is all about math vocabulary. This time they were creating Polygon Pockets filled with geometry words and symbols. Yes, we have a Guest Star! Patrick is a senior from Portland High School and is so SUPER SMART. He meets with groups and leads great math brain games. Noodle #'s is a station that also requires students to use strategic moves in be successful with their math games.Finally, Team Time is a station that requires students work in teams to solve math word problems. I have seen the celebrity MATH MINDS really growing thanks to Math Munchies. Check out our paparazzi pics below.

Last week some of our Celebrity 4th graders spent some time lending their math expertise to Mrs. Groves first graders. During 1st grade's Math Madness day, the celebs helped the 1st graders with apple math activities and read books to the class. We look forward to helping Mrs. Groves class with math again soon.
