Some things we did were:<br /><br />1. choose a city or two, find the temperature on the internet and graph those temperatures each day - great connection to line graphs.<br /><br />2. come up with a list of ways to get to the date number (January 2nd - we had to get to 2, February 15th - we had to get to 15). For older kids this works better, because it's harder to get 25 ways to get an answer of 1, but everyone had to come up with a different way.<br /><br />3. allow students to create a word problem that used the numbers in the date (January 2, 2011 - students used the numbers 1, 2, and 11 somewhere in a word problem) Then we swapped out the problems and saw how quickly they could answer each other's problems.<br /><br />Just some alternative ideas.<br /><br />www.rakiradresources.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963040516953318318.post-14659794940601722542011-05-30T12:36:30.065-07:002011-05-30T12:36:30.065-07:00Good idea and I am passining it on to my favorite ...Good idea and I am passining it on to my favorite 5th grade teacher friend! <br /><br />www.littlemisskindergarten.blogspot.comMrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12115187086193068487noreply@blogger.com
