Mystery Number Lesson- All Grade Levels- Partner with another teacher. Have one teacher/class pick a number and the other class has to guess it. They should use questions like "Is it Even/Odd? Is there a 4 in the tens place? Is it greater than 50? Is it a multiple of 5?" These questions can be for any grade level. Students can use their number grid to cross-off numbers as clues are given, or teacher can use a class number grid to keep track! (See Pica, Ferme, Nada below)
