Board Games, Numeracy, Document Cameras, Too Traffic Lights

Quick mail today because it's belatedly too I'm exhausted from a amount solar daytime of didactics too an flush at the Tulsa Math Teachers' Circle.  We had an H2O ice cream social this night alongside board games.  So fun!

Here's a film of Shaun too me that individual posted to our facebook group:


We're apparently focusing super difficult on figuring out how our game worked.  The game nosotros were playing was called Love Letter (affiliate link).  It took us a few minutes to roll our heads around, but I ended upwards genuinely enjoying it.  With exclusively ii people playing, the rounds went rather quickly.  I'd definitely play it again.  Looking on Amazon, it seems similar you lot tin fifty-fifty larn it themed inwards Batman too the Hobbit!  There's also a Santa version of the game (affiliate link) that's exclusively $3.15!  

 

The existent argue I started writing this spider web log mail was to tell you lot most the exciting packages I got inwards the mail today.  A lovely spider web log reader sent me a mass to read!


Building my students' numeracy skills is a major destination of mine, too hence I'm genuinely looking frontward to diving into Pam Harris' Building Powerful Numeracy book.  I've heard it recommended over too over too over inwards the MTBoS!

I also received a document photographic telly camera from Ipevo.  I've had a document photographic telly camera since I started teaching, but it has late stopped working.  It wouldn't fifty-fifty ability on!  Due to the school's budget cuts, I knew that it in all likelihood stood no peril of getting repaired or replaced whatever fourth dimension soon.  Remember: I'm didactics at the schoolhouse that forces all the teachers to travel out past times iv p.m. to conserve electricity costs!



I remembered hearing a few years agone that Ipevo had a plan where they gave teachers gratis document cameras.  It's genuinely called the Ipevo Wishpool.  This month, August, but happened to hold out some other document photographic telly camera giveaway.  They laissez passer on away dissimilar products during dissimilar months.  (It's however August, too hence if you lot ask a document photographic telly camera for your classroom you lot could however win one!)  You produce own got to write a curt examine explaining why you lot ask it too how you lot volition role it.  This month's gift is a VZ-1 hard disk VGA/USB Dual-Mode Document Camera (affiliate link).  It was super slow to laid up.  I dear that it takes upwards too hence much less desk infinite than my sometime SMART Technologies document camera!
Not everyone wins.  Shaun requested i from Ipevo the solar daytime later I did, too my want was granted too his wasn't.  :(  But, I mean value it's definitely worth a endeavour if you lot mean value you lot could role i inwards your classroom!  Mine came inwards the mail today, too I already own got it laid up.  I used it to demonstrate to my students how to play the Traffic Lights game from Nrich that Julie Morgan blogged about.





I had my students reuse the boards for Rainbow Logic for this activity.  But, I mean value I'll brand upwards a dedicated laid of boards for this activeness inwards the time to come that has the rules printed on them!

My Math Concepts students (students non yet create for Algebra 1) genuinely struggled alongside agreement the rules of the Traffic Lights game.  But, my trig students got really, genuinely into it.  We ended upwards setting upwards a quick bracket too having a Traffic Lights tournament!
