Math Practice Standards

Today we reviewed the Math Practice Standards. We are thinking about them in terms of how we do math. We reviewed the standards and reflected on the standards we think we do well and those we think we can work on this year.

We then introduced a game called Beat the Teacher. In Beat the Teacher the teacher rolls a di six times, each time students place that digit into a six digit number, with the goal of creating the largest possible number (or at least a number bigger than the teacher). This game asks students to reason with numbers and explain their reasoning, and it practices reading, writing and comparing numbers to the hundred thousands. We will use this game later in the year when we get to working on decimals!
