Math Officers

On Thursday, we continued our Wednesday night homework with an engaging Math lesson where the students became Math officers.  Here is a picture of them graduating from the math police academy.  The students all decorated a badge and created their own officer name.
As the lesson went on, all my Chiefs, Captains, Secret Agents, Officers, and Patrolmen found out what hard work it is being a math officer.  Every time Mr. Cavileer completed a double-digit addition problem, he broke a rule in some way.  It was up to the officers to find my mistakes and fix them. 
Here are some of the violations that my officers gave me tickets for. 
  • Always add the ones column first.
  • Carry the 1 when the ones column goes over 10.
  • Only carry the 1 when the tens column goes over 10.
  • If the ones column adds up to 13, don't carry a 3! 
 Here is a picture of them after we read directions. They were all business and they caught my mistakes everytime.
