Skype in the classroom

We tried something new and exciting today! We were able to skype(video call) another first grade classroom across the country in California! The idea of the conversation between classes was to guess each other's "mystery number". We did this as a math warm up for number sense. The game involves asking questions that focus on greater than less than, place value, two digit vs one digit numbers, odd/even, doubles and number range. We were able to guess their number and they guessed ours, as well. We will continue to practice and get even faster guessing with experience while building math knowledge!!
