Making Math Fun By Ann Mead Ash
Before Kayley Gates taught fifth- and sixth-grade math classes at Salisbury Elementary School, she taught first grade in another district. When her firstgrade students in the other district were invited to take part in a carnival that involved a math unit being completed by older elementary school students, Gates tucked the idea away for future use. This spring, when it was time for Gates’ 45 math students to complete a unit on statistics, she decided the carnival idea would be a great way to wrap up the lessons. “We called it our Statistics Carnival,” said Gates, who divided her students into groups and assigned 13 games
for them to run at the carnival, which was held May 9. Half the students ran the games in the morning, and half ran them in the afternoon. “We invited the kindergartners as an end-of-year celebration for them to come and play the games,” said Gates. About 50 kindergartners divided into three classes attended the carnival one class at a time. For each of the assigned games, the math students were required to create the rules and devise ways to record the data. Among the activities were a bean bag toss and a pick-a-duck game. “(For the bean bag game), the kindergartners threw (the bags) into the hole to score points, and the fifth- and sixth- Salisbury Elementary School students in Kayley Gates’ fifth- and sixth-grade math classes graders recorded the number of held a carnival for kindergartners at the school on May 9. The older students gathered See Statistics Carnival pg 2 data from the carnival that they used to complete a statistics unit.
