(Not that challenge 05 isn't cool... it's just not as relevant to your post about the four fours problem. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06260746086633395166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649272302775408598.post-7837874830387788082013-10-08T03:14:59.140-07:002013-10-08T03:14:59.140-07:00The four fours is a classic and a favorite of mine...The four fours is a classic and a favorite of mine, and I've done something similar to your "1 to 100", but I'm always learning new things from the MTBoS. I love your dice game! There's something about the randomness that sounds fun, and I like the fact that we're not always able to write an expression that equals the target number.<br /><br />In a bit of shameless self-promotion, I’ll mention that Challenge 05 over at CollaborativeMathematics.org has a similar feel to these problems, in the sense that the goal is to build an expression out of some given building blocks. If your students liked the four fours, they might like “pieces of eight” ! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06260746086633395166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649272302775408598.post-64972541344566946772013-10-06T13:35:21.262-07:002013-10-06T13:35:21.262-07:00Wow!

So many great ideas to steal from just one blog post! :) Thanks so much for sharing these -I think I might even use Pamela's idea to use "From One to a Hundred" with students who need to practice basic operations.

I always want something for the slower processor students (like me) other wise they won't bother trying. I have seen the four fours activity but have not tried it yet. I like how you worked up to that with an intro activity. Thank you for sharing, I look forward to reading more of your blogs.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332890813686801302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649272302775408598.post-18334500846612118112013-10-06T11:06:44.453-07:002013-10-06T11:06:44.453-07:00For sure!
