Welcome back. I hope that you all had a great day off from school yesterday!
Today we started off class with Mental Math. Yes my favorite( no i am just kidding it's not my favorite)
After MM Mr. Maksymchuk made us play a game called Count to 20.
Where we raced with Mr. Maksymchuk to get to 20 we could go up by 1 or 2 numbers. No one got it at first but there are a few tricks to the game. we learnt that if you can get to 2 its a better chance to win. There are other key numbers 2
5
8
11
14
17
20
We realized that its all about going up by 3's 1+2=3 ,2+1=3, 1+1+1=3
It was a bit confusing at first but once you get the Pattern it comes easier.
