Title – Introducing Your Teacher By the Numbers

By – Sandy Janack

Primary Subject – Math

Grade Level – 3-5

Procedure:

Create a PowerPoint presentation. Each slide contains three parts that you reveal one at a time.
The first part is just a number. The number represents something about you (age, number of children, number of countries you’ve visited, number of cookies you eat for dessert, etc.).
Have kids guess with a partner what the number means. Share out.
Then share a clip art or picture connected to the answer. Let partners discuss and change their guess.
Then reveal what the number represents.
Continue with more slides.
Finally, give each student a sticky note, have them independently write numbers significant to them, and then partner up and guess what each other’s numbers mean.
Or you could have them create a flipbook about themselves with the number on one side and the answer on the next page.
