MATH ADVENTURE DAY
( MAD 2001 !)

1.Creating an Activity

2. The Day Itself


The big day for math is known as Math Adventure Day. It will be April 19, 2001. Thanks to you, this will be a math event to remember!

In the morning, all the Primary children in a selected school will rotate through math activities in the ‘decorated’ gym and other areas of the school. This will happen for Junior children in the afternoon.
These activities will be selected,designed,and created by you!

Don will create teams of student teachers. Each team of 7 or 8 student teachers is responsible for 5 activities and about 35 children. Each child will rotate through 5 activities. Each activity will take about 20 minutes. Each Team has one student teacher as the Contact Person.

After Math Adventure Day the activities you have written up will be shared with each other and your Associate teachers.

The activities should be just that - active! The children should be physically doing things that relate to the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum. (1997)

There are two parts to the assignment:
