I'm glad that you enjoyed using the 20 Questions activity. I found the same thing in my classes. It is interesting to see which students are more able to think outside the box. Hi Paulette.

Great stuff....thanks.

This is really what education is all about! Getting students genuinely interested and curious about what they are learning. I'd really like to see your program.

Our students may never use negative exponents in real life. I haven't. However, we are teaching them to identify problems, think critically, and use the mathematical skills that they have internalized to strive toward solutions. While our students may not always realize it, they will transfer many of the skills that they learn in mathematics into other areas of their lives.

I also usually dive into some projects once my state testing has been completed. Thanks for sharing! James, this sounds like a great project for your students to participate in.
