For straight practice Fact Freaks website is great. For more long term development getting them playing Cribbage or BlackJack is ideal.

I have been wondering the same thing. I think there may be some pretty deep misunderstandings about decimals, I also find some otherwise successful students who think for example 6.795 is more than 6.81 since 795 is bigger than 81.

#iteachmath#mtbos Has anyone created a traditional summative test as a Desmos activity? So students would have the test but at least on some questions there could be nudges that they should think a bit more about their answer.

Probably 5% on computers, 15% on mini whiteboards, 5% on vnps, 75% on paper

The bells at my school have been slowly slowing. So time for a task on linear change right? Rate of change averages out to be .86 sec/day. Then we confidently predicted when they would ring a week later. BUT IT IS A WEEK LATER AND THEY ARE STILL EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OFF! 🤷‍♂️ #iteachmath
