Striving for success!

Math
Let the real work begin! The students started the day with a friendly game. The aim of Chase, is to use multiplication facts and order of operations to solve problems. This was a warm up activity and the students had a great time. 
This was followed by Mad Minute. The purpose of Mad Minute is to have daily practice of multiplication facts.
