I can't tell you how excited I was that I was able to talk Mr. Mayer into particpating in this silly video commercial to pump up the kids about the Flippin' Olympics. What's that? Well, it is a pre-holiday math activity concocted to capitalize on the water-bottle-flipping obsession and teach the kids about converting fractions to decimals to percents. I wasn't sure if it was going to be a disaster or a ton of fun, and I'm pleased to report it went swimmingly. The kids seemed to have a bunch of fun, it was easy to set-up, and will make a darn-good math lesson when we crunch our numbers to find the winning team. Yay for strange ideas! (This one literally came to me in the middle of the night on a SATURDAY!!!) If anyone ever reads this blog and/or wants to use the files we created, I'd be so happy to pass them along. Happy Holidays!
