Math Party!

Victoria had a tricky time with math this year. A few of her friends did too, so before SOLs, we had a math party to review. We made brownies and lemonade. That provided us with opportunities to talk about cups, pints, quarts, and gallons.We also talked about fractions and used division to cut the brownies. Fun stuff like that.  We played a jeopardy style game to review as well. We used board game money so they not only had to solve the problems and answer the questions, but they also worked with money. 

 They won pencils with the times tables on them. I made them promise to never use them on a test or quiz or to cheat in any way. They are good girls, so they wouldn't have anyway.
They did a bit of Multiplication Rock too! 
They had fun. I literally heard, "Wow, math is really fun!" There's no reason it shouldn't be, right?!
