In class this week we talked about the Family Math Night we are doing at a local elementary school in a few weeks. As students we are going to prepare games for this night, and families from the community are going to come to the school for a type of "math carnival" and come to play the games we are preparing for them. My partner and I are currently deciding on a game, and we are hoping to do something with shapes. I'm sure there is something we can do with shapes that will be good for all potential ages, or that we can modify so that it will suit the needs of each age group and be fun for multiple ages!
I'm excited for this math game night. I love having the chance to actually interact with students. So much of the time it seems like we're not given the chance to interact with students until later on in our degrees, once we start student teaching, but I feel that it is important to know what we're getting in to now and get as much experience in classrooms as possible before we get further into our majors.
