Me by the Numbers

The beginning of the year is always so crazy and in my county they do "suspended curriculum" for the first week. You have a few minutes with your students, but most of the day we go over procedures, like fire drills, and other housekeeping items.

To get the kids going in their INB I started with a "Me by the Numbers" activity that my students always seem to enjoy. I found a template for this activity here, I've tried to do it without a template before and it takes up way more time then you would think.

The "I Can" statement for this lesson was:
I can use number in the real world.

The IXL Lesson I assigned with this was:
A.1: Prime or Composite

This lesson should be fairly easy and is really just assigned to start getting them used to IXL assignments.

Pretty basic, but it is the very beginning of the year. I use this as a getting to know each other activity and allow students to share as many of their number facts as they would like.
