MATH LINE UP
Here’s a simple
solution for when children shove to get in line – and they can learn something. You will need a Pringle’s can and poker
chips. Cut a slit in the lid of
the can. Write numerals 1-25 (or
the number of students in your room) on the chips. Place the chips in the can, shake them up (love the sound!)
and then pass the can around to each child. The child who selects “1” takes the can and lines up at the
door. The other children line up
in numerical order as they place their chips in the can.
