Set up guide:

Optional: Hold a certificate ceremony or a play-off between the top achievers.

Further Options: align with world or regional events, like The Olympics, World Series, etc. Have students choose a country/team to represent, research 3 facts about them, make a flag, wear the colours of that country/team, consider nutrition and hydration for athletes when you stop for breaks, etc.

❤️ How will this product help my students improve their knowledge and skills?

Nothing kills the love for Math faster that worksheet heavy lessons. While those are important for drill practise, they are not what help our students to grasp concepts and have Aha! moments in Math. That only happens with Real Life Experiences. And we all know that when we are having fun, we are more open to taking risks and absorbing new learning.

These are the principles that this product is built around. Children participating real life application activities, like measuring how far they can throw a paper plate disc, or choosing the best tools for measuring a particular length.

Now add in the competition element of who threw the furtherest, to explore math concepts of strategy, comparing, greater than, less than, and sequencing/ ordering values.

Finally, students will also work with Place Value as they toggle between the Metric units of Measurement.

CCSS aligned for your peace of mind.
