The Big Idea this week was learning how to be spies by solving coded messages, cracking codes to find treasure, and ending by coding their own phone number!
So what math did we use tonight as we were training to be spies? Number recognition, pattern recognition and completion and associations between sets.
By the end of class we all used our super-stealthy math skills to become super-secret spies – and to ace math class in school! The kids all took home their magnifying glasses, codes, and clues to practice more math sleuthing!
Tune in next week for high flying marshmallows and more mischievous math!
