Nov 28

Today Ms. MacDonald taught us a new Math game. It was called 
BRAIN BLAST! Students use "Power of 10 cards" and hold one at a time up to their forehead. The student then asks questions that will lead them to the number on their card. For example. If you're holding up a 5 the student may ask "Is it greater than 1?" etc. 

The ten-frame cards can be found online and printed if you would like to play with your child at home. Your child may also enjoy creating their very own "Power of 10" cards too!
