A pattern: notebook lined paper, a Rubik’s cube.
Student feedback examples:
-We worked together as a team and problem solved a lot! A great way to bond with friends and work hard!!
-We all got along well and I hadn’t seen one of my teammates in a long time so it was nice to see them and work together on this. We also had tons of fun and math games was very different from what I expected.
-We really worked together as a team. We would collaborate together to get the right answer and we would discuss all the possibilities. More than once we would get the answer wrong but we would discuss as a team and try the other possibilities!
