WEEK THIRTEEN: 12/16

For our final class of Math Pentathlon for 2008 students played one-on-one in mini-tournaments. The kids were awesome at really thinking about their next move out when playing each other and yet the classes were also full of good sportsmanship.

See you next year!

WEEK TWELVE: 12/9

This week each class hosted Earthquake game play and/or started their mini-tournaments. Until now we have been having the students play two-on-two as teams to work together to learn the winning strategies of the math games. During the mini-tournament, the students will play one-on-one with tournament rules to get their first experience with the process.

WEEK ELEVEN: 12/2

This was the last week of instruction for DIV I & DIV II games and review of all the games for DIV III. For the next two weeks we will have Earthquake play and mini-tournaments. The kids are really catching onto the games and it's been fun watching their growth and learning as well as how they help their fellow students.
