Math Activity: The Sixty Second Sweep

 

The Sixty Second Sweep- This Math activity only takes 60 seconds, and it allows students to practice their multiplication fluency backwards and forward. Instead of thinking of their multiplication tables as 2 times 3, they must look at the number ’36′ and be able to determine which two numbers will multiply to give them that answer. This challenges to know their fact families, and you will be SO thankful when you start your fractions unit (simplifying=cake!). Since this activity is timed, students are super engaged and are motivated by the competition. 

Fact or Myth? BCTF and the Liberal Government.

You hear George Abbott spewing facts and numbers and "truths"

Then you hear the BCTF with their facts and numbers which do not sweem to match the governments.

Finally you have both parties countering each others statements and it quickly gets very confusing to understand who is right.

Luckily, there is an easy way to decipher the numbers and facts coming out...

This chart lays out the FACTS and MYTHS surrounding comments from BCTF and the government.

I really love the chart as it clearly shows the facts and myths surrounding the current situation with BC Teachers and the BC Liberal Government.
