Hello youcubians,
Welcome to our third week of #YoucubedAtHome newsletters! This week we have some freshly adapted activities, as well as some brand-new ones. Our goal is to continue sharing tasks and videos to support math learning at home.
Again, please do share this newsletter with others, as well as a link to our site (https://www.youcubed.org/resource/youcubed-at-home/) that has our collection of activities and videos from the last two weeks. We would love it if you use the hashtag #YoucubedAtHome on social media to share your students’ work with us and our community. Check out the descriptions below for a chance to have your work shared in a future newsletter! We love creating these lessons and videos, we hope you are enjoying them too.
Household supplies only:
  • Count on me (K-12): This activity inspires students of all ages to take a new look at counting with their fingers. From figuring out different ways to show 3 to figuring out every possible way to count to 10 on both hands, this activity has something for everyone!
Indoor with technology / other supplies:
  • Foot Parade (K-2): This activity allows students an opportunity to think creatively about numbers. Students use animals to model different ways to make a total by adding the number of feet in their parade. 
  • Math Cards (3-6): In this activity we use the familiar structure of flashcards, but we have moved the emphasis to number sense and the understanding of multiplication without any time constraints. This activity encourages students to make connections between different representations of numbers and gain flexibility with multiplication.
Outdoors:
  • What’s Going On Outside Your Window? (K-12): This activity encourages students of all ages to take a deeper look at a familiar view: right outside their window. Students are asked to collect data on what they see and report it in a creative visual representation. 
Family activities:
  • ‘And I’m a mathematician’ (K-12): Everyone is a mathematician! Make posters sharing the many aspects of your identity and add to it “and I’m a mathematician” - because we all are! Tweet us your posters @youcubed with the hashtag #YoucubedatHome! We will feature some of the most creative posters in next week’s newsletter.

Cheers and good health,
