At the end of the day we use little white boards and wipe
off markers to practice math problems.
It takes about 10- 15 minutes depending upon how long I can keep the
natives captivated. (Which is NOT
LONG…)
I have a silver ring that holds cards filled with cool word
problems that the kindergarten teachers across the district created a couple of
years ago. I adore them, and so do the kids. (Well, they claim they do, and I tend to believe them.)
“Okay guys, you
know the drill. Write the problem
on your board using symbols, tally marks or numbers: whatever works for you.
But don’t show ANYONE your answer until I say “BRING IT”, right?
Right.”
We warmed up with some traditional problems of adding
numbers together, and then I threw in some challenging ones.
“Okay kids, here’s a tough one…there were eight girls on the
swing and ‘some’ left. Then, there
were five girls on the swings. How many girls left?”
Sasha thought for a while and SHOUTED with a proud smile, “SOME!”
Well. There
you go.
(She WAS right, after all. She certainly was…)

Sharp as a whip, that one.
top of her class...at least you know she is listening to you....smiles.
Sasha is good, but she's no Frank. You know Frank would have given you a 10 minute oral presentation (with charts) proving that the answer to your question was 37!
I agree with Mellodee..
How I love your school stories, thanks for the chuckle
Well you can't go wrong with that answer.
I can adore Sasha with her quick calculations - of just how much fun it is to make the teacher and everyone else take a break for humor!
Is she picking up on some role modeling somewhere? Just wondering . . . .
faithful follower
I think that girl might always be right. You might as well give it up. You've got nothing on Sasha and Frank!
Haha! Best answer!
love it!!!
I'm liking Miss Sasha :-)
