Oh man...
In math right now, we are learning different strategies to solve word problems. I have some characters in my class. They are all LOVING solving these word problems and are so SO proud of themselves when they get them right.
Case in point: today two of my boys kept solving them so quickly and accurately that I was having to come up with different number combinations to try to stump them. It wasn't working-- they were masterfully solving these problems. So much so that I finally said, "Oh my gosh, guys!" To which one boy proclaimed, "KINGS OF MATH!" and walked away.
What will you proclaim today?
QUEEN OF PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM!
So, I've SORELY fallen behind on your blogging, so I'm catching up now: and I love your KINGS OF MATH post. It made me think of my very good friend Jason Harwell's 2004 release: "Word Problems." http://soundcloud.com/jharwell/03-word-problems
