Celebrate Penguin Awareness Day in Your Math Classroom

Free Penguin-Themed ‘Which One Doesn’t Belong?"‘ Math Activities for Grades K-8.

Did you know that January 20th is Penguin Awareness Day?

This international holiday celebrates everyone’s favorite flightless birds and draws attention to conserving their at-risk habitat.

You can celebrate at home by learning some new fun facts about penguins.

And you can celebrate in your classroom with three brand new Penguin-Themed ‘Which One Doesn’t Belong?’ Math Activities for students in Grades K-6.

If you’re not familiar with using ‘Which One Doesn’t Belong?’ (WODB) activities and why they are amazing for boosting student engagement in the math classroom, click here to learn everything you need to know.

I started sharing WODB activities with my students because I was struggling to find ways to get all of my students engaged, especially those who struggle with mathematics and are reluctant to participate.

The results? My student engagement skyrocketed! Since WODB activities don’t have a single correct answer (the idea is to get students thinking mathematically and learn how to justify their answers), all of my students (even ones who rarely participate) felt comfortable sharing and getting involved.

Now I use WODB at least once a week!
