Happy No-Shave November!

Are you ready to celebrate in your math classroom?

Now that November has arrived, it’s officially the start of Movember, also known as No-Shave November, a month-long event where participants forgo grooming and shaving in an effort to raise cancer awareness.

You can participate by growing out a wild beard, by donating money to no-shave.org, where all proceeds go to cancer-prevention causes, and by raising awareness in your school.

So, even if you and your students can't cultivate a sweet handlebar mustache, you can still celebrate Movember in your classroom with a fun No-Shave November-themed math puzzle!​

It makes for a great warm-up, transition, or exit ticket activity and can be shared with students in grades 3 and up!

Can Your Students Solve These Multiplication Table Math Puzzles?

EQMBMPkXkAU7uxW.jpg

Are you looking for some fun and engaging activities to help your kids practice and understand multiplication?

I started using multiplication table puzzles with my students every week last school year, and the results were pretty awesome, especially when it came to improving their ability to multiply and divide values without relying on memorization.

And if you're a fan of Stanford's Jo Boaler, then you know that she is a huge proponent of using visual math activities (like multiplication table puzzles) to improve student performance.

The following puzzles challenge students to use their math and reasoning skills to find the value of different symbols contained within a multiplication table.

They work like a bingo-table where the icon in each box represents the product of its corresponding column and row.

So go ahead and share the puzzles with your kiddos this week! They make for a great warm-up or cool-down activity for sparking mathematical discussion and creative problem-solving!
