Patriot Games: Measurement


Spring Hill Elementary and Marshall University have partnered to bring Patriot Games to our students! Throughout the 2012-13 school year, students will train for the games by participating in a variety of math activities that focus on the following skills:
  • 2nd Six Weeks: Measurement
  • 3rd Six Weeks: Geometry
  • 4th Six Weeks: Speed (Fast Facts)
  • 5th Six Weeks: Data & Statistics
  • 6th Six Weeks: WESTEST II Review
At the end of each six weeks, grade levels will compete in the PATRIOT GAMES to determine who will be the World’s Greatest Mathletes!

There are many great resources available online for Measurement.  Below is a list of just a few of these great activities.  Collaborate with your Title I Math Coach, TIS, and other colleagues to organize activites for your classroom!
