Highlights

     On some Fridays, I facilitated Game Day Friday during math.  There were six stations with games, as well as one station to complete i-Ready math activities.  The first game was long division with dice.  Students roll some of the dice to create a four-digit or five-digit number.  Then, they roll the remaining dice to create a divisor.  They work out the long division problem on mini whiteboards using the break-apart method, and they check their answer using a calculator.  At the second station, students flipped over dominoes and multiplied the two numbers shown on the domino to practice their multiplication facts.  At the third station, each student would grab a card from the top of the deck of cards without looking at it.  The students would flip their cards over at the same time, and the first person to multiply the two numbers on the cards and say the answer aloud was the winner of the cards.  The fourth station was a game titled Pizza Fraction Fun.  Students spun a spinner with fractions to determine which slice of pizza to grab.  Fractions were labeled on the back sides of the pizza slices.  When the spinner landed on the option to trade, students needed to make a decision.  At the fifth station, students rolled dice to create numbers for area model problems.  They worked out the problems on mini whiteboards and checked their answers with a calculator.  For the sixth station, I wrote a variety of fractions and mixed numbers on the Promethean board.  On mini whiteboards, students turned improper fractions into mixed numbers, and they turned mixed numbers into improper fractions.  The final station was i-Ready math.
