Room 8 loves 'Create a Number.' These are activites from Marcy Cook (a mathematics presenter) that are challenging, teach math language, help the students to see patterns in solving problems, and ... they are fun!
In this one, they were to create a telephone number. Can you see the clues?
There were 12 possible answers:
979-5133
979-1533
979-3155
979-1355
The last four digits were repeated with the prefixes of 997 and with 799.
Here we are working hard to figure out these numbers:
Ashley and Kaia try to figure out the pattern...
Isabell and Vanessa work together...
Look how Max set his paper up to figure out all the possibilities!
Rocky and Nicole did well together...
Can't you tell how hard Orion is thinking?
Mrs. T is helping Danny and Katy with the possibilities...
Vanessa tries to explain how 'Create a Number' works to Caryn...
