This month in Math one of the things we will be working on is skip counting (up to the number 100 for now). On Friday students played many fun skip counting games where they counted by 5's and 10's forward and backward. Rather than having kids do traditional practise sheets at their desk Mrs. Shillington and I have the kids occasionally go on a Scavenger Hunt or "Scoot". The kids played a skip counting "Scoot" on Friday. "Scoot" involves kids moving around the room answering questions or solving problems. We had cards placed around the classroom and in the hallway. On each card we had a skip counting pattern and the kids had to figure out the number that was to come next in the pattern. They loved walking around the classroom and using the clipboards to hold their answer sheets. We had almost 40 kids walking around the hallway and in the classrooms all at once but you would never know it. They were so quiet and focused on solving the problems. It was wonderful! "Scoot" will definitely be played often!
Check out below for some pictures of the kiddos playing "Scoot"!
