Today we started working toward an ice cream sundae. As the students learn multiplication facts and pass practice pages they will earn a new ingredient to build an ice cream sundae. Today we practiced the 0s and 1s facts and the students had an opportunity to earn the bowl for their sundae if they passed the practice pages.
This is a fun way to practice facts and build fluency. I reminded the students that this is not a competition and each person will be working at their own pace. I try to do our practice pages on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They may be on other days as needed. So practice, practice, practice at home!!!!
Of course in the end we will all celebrate our hard work by eating some ice cream!!
