12/21/2023 - Seventh Grade Math Glow Day

On December 21, seventh grade students at Whitesboro Middle School participated in Math Glow Day. During each of the Math 7 classes, students rotated around four stations: Operations with Integers, Tic Tac Toe Angles, Math Jenga and Order of Operations Puzzle.

At the Operations with Integers station, students answered a variety of integers-related questions. When their answers were checked, they found their answers on a coloring sheet and the picture ended up being a snowflake. 

At the Tic-Tac-Toe Angles station, students were separated into two teams to answer questions about angles. If the card had a vocabulary word, students modeled the word with glow sticks. If it had an algebra question, all students tried to answer the question. If the team that picked the task card got the question correct, they were able to make a play on the tic-tac-toe board.

At the Math Jenga station, there were six types of questions students could choose from to answer, and the questions were color coded. If the students answered the question correctly, they tried to remove a Jenga piece matching the color and then put the piece back on top of the stack.

At the Order of Operations Puzzle station, students answered questions and put puzzle pieces together.

Each of the activities took place with the lights off, black lights on and lots of glow-in-the-dark pieces. Students used yellow highlighters to complete their math work and they were each given a glow stick. It was a fun way to make math enjoyable and help students learn at the same time.
