Special Gifts with Special Requirements
Your special friends sure have some unique gift needs!
How Many Will There Be? Desks
Give kids a taste of a sequence, let them build an understanding, and then see how far their predictions can take them.
A Lunar Survival Mission
A favorite of mine! This task is delightfully complex and ambiguous, forcing students to make choices without enough information and with no right answer. How will they survive on the moon for three days?
Not Like The Others: Countries
How is each of these four countries not like the others?
The Tournament of Biomes
Want to move beyond memorizing the characteristics of biomes? In this lesson, students work through a Tournament of Biomes, explaining which biome wins in each round (based on criteria you choose). In the end, they crown a 👑 Champion Biome!
The Resiliency Tournament
Your students will set up a tournament to determine which person or character best demonstrated resiliency.
