Yay math!This meme is funny because it's true! You can admit it, it's just us teachers here. How many times do you say, "it's math time," and there is a collective groan that runs through the room? Yeah, I know. We sit at home and plan our exciting lessons while binge watching Netflix, all the while pounding our heads against the wall trying to find a way to make math exciting! Some days I would even accept if a math lesson was survivable!
Then one day I created my first math relay tag product. We were learning about 2 by 2 digit multiplication. If you've ever taught this, you know that teaching students the steps is the first part of the lesson. Giving students many opportunities to practice the steps is the second part of the lesson. Good math teachers recognize that practice is vital to get kids to really embed those skills. I needed a way to get my kids to want to do their problems quickly and accurately.
