In true March Madness fashion we said so-long to the Madness with a
bang!
We reviewed how 64 teams were
divided and divided all the way down to 4, and how the number of teams per
region after each round was multiplied by 4 to get the total number of
remaining teams.
To go along with our earned Game Day and “Air Bud” movie the students also
earned Madness Goody Bags- but there was a catch.
In order to get their baggy and drink for the
movie we did a rapid-fire times table and each kiddo had to answer a
multiplication question
J

After the movie and recess, students used their tickets to get into our “Big
Dance”!
This is where they used their
whiteboards to compete for the “Wooden Trophy”!
They responded to the multiplication and division questions on the PowerPoint
you were sent earlier.
The winner of
each then got 3 chances to shoot a basket.
The boys and girls were so into it and very supportive- cheering and
yelling for everyone to get a hoop!
The
student with the most points at the end won the Wooden Trophy (a stuffed
basketball)
J There were also some buzzer-beater questions
to help get rid of left over candy!
Our principal and some other building staff came in at the end to join in
the last of the Madness, and to help us pick the championship game and champions…. We’ll have to see if Wichita State plays Michigan, and if Wichita State makes it all the way!
