We'll begin each day with a WARM-UP to get your minds going~ sometimes it will be a game with a partner, other times it shall be a puzzle, or it may be a problem to get your neurons firing! Then, as mathematicians, you will begin to solve problems, develop strategies and algorithms, and develop the language of numbers, relationships, and logic!

Have you heard about a POW? POW is an acronym for "Problem of the Week." Some kids refer to the POW as their Sketchbook Problem because you will be creating a yearlong portfolio of your problems in an 11X14 sketchbook. Make sure you purchase a SPIRAL BOUND sketchbook with at least 50 pages so it will last all year! 11X14 sketchbooks can be found at Staples, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby. You'll learn more about the POW as the year gets underway~ its an opportunity for you to really develop your problem solving strategies, your ability to explain your strategies using words and calculations, and to be creative in your presentation!
