Math Night

On Thursday night, October 12th, the Elementary School cafeteria was the place to be.  Parents and siblings of elementary students joined in on math games set up around the cafeteria and explored games on iPads set up in Mrs. Apgar’s room.  Students enjoyed teaching their parents some of the math games they play in school and they learned some new ones as well.  They also got a chance to read books with math themes.  Dice were rolling, cards were flipping, game pieces were being moved around boards and brains were thinking about best strategies and math concepts they have been learning.  The winner of the pumpkin weight estimation was Kinsley Dewhirst and the winner of the candy estimation jar was Carter Warren.  So many math skills can be taught and reinforced through the use of games.  Children are learning great skills but more importantly, they are having fun while doing it.   See you next year at math night!
