Gettin' ready for St. Patrick's Day...

Tried It Awesomeness #1: Shamrock Math

I bought these lil' Cupcake picks at Hobby Lobby for 30% off.

 We are reviewin' equations in my class, so I wrote on all of the shamrocks.

 Students partnered up.
One person held an equation shamrock 

while the other person solved.
The correct answers are on the back.

 We had 11 students on one side facin' the other 11 students.

As students solved the equation appropriately, their partner would stand up.
We made a it into a lil' race.

 We then switched sides and kept passin' the shamrocks for 

everyone to get a chance to solve a few equations.

My sweet AP walked in while we were doin' this
and enjoyed watchin' the kiddos in action.

 I then placed the shamrocks in a math center and used 

Starburst to hold them in place.
I wanted to do Skittles to "taste the rainbow", but
I didn't think Skittles would hold the shamrocks.
I'm no genius...just makin' an educated guess.

 The boys and girls got to use different rainbow colored pens to
solve the equations.
Of course they then got to eat the treat.
I'm pretty sure that was their favorite part.
