After the last three students tested in for a 1 mile timed run, High School PE class then went for a long walk and picked up garbage along the way. Thank you for helping keep our community clean!
Math Tip of the Week: Make math a game.
Math games are fun and inexpensive. They are a wonderful way to get your kids to enjoy working with numbers, as well as improve their number skills. Here are a few suggestions:
Many games that we take for granted are excellent math lessons. “Go Fish” teaches counting and grouping in sets. Games that use play money teach how to make change. Board games that use dice teach addition and counting. Backgammon teaches addition, subtraction, and strategy.
Beans, stones, or marbles can be used to play number games. Let your child develop his or her own games by sorting beans into different sizes or types, setting up the rules for a counting game, or using different types of pasta to make a picture.
Give your children a geometry lesson by letting them create a collage of circles, squares, and triangles. Challenge them to come up with as many different shapes as they can using only triangles.
Play store with the items in your cupboard.
A pan of water and some jars or cups of different sizes will amuse a child for hours while teaching capacity and volume.
