Math Madness!

Each afternoon just after recess we have math time in our classroom.  We are very busy with a lesson and then Mind on Math time.

Often, we play "college" and take notes on the lesson as we learn.  The kids usually name the lesson and add the date before adding important information.  
Taking Notes is fun!
Today we learned about Magic Number or Number of the Day.  This is an activity to help students think about numbers, what they mean, how to change the number by 1, 10 and 100.  
Magic Number example.
Starting with Unit 3 I gave the students challenge work.  Each day during Mind on Math time students have math related to the lesson and mathboxes to complete.  Once those are finished, they have Challenge work they can work on for the remainder of the time.  Some students get to the challenge work each day and others may not have time.
Challenge Work!
