Looking for a way to connect your math students to others around the world? Want to challenge them to use their math knowledge both in school and at home? Check out this innovative idea to motivate students! This would be a great warm-up or closing activity!
There is a Global Math Twitter Challenge and it’s very easy to participate. Each day (or whenever you want), your class can post one math question from their lesson and can answer other math questions posted from students around the globe. Simply type the hashtag #gmttcMS (for middle school) with the question or response. You can also search Twitter with that hashtag to see what other classrooms at your grade level are posting. This is an ongoing challenge throughout the school year. The more classes that sign up, the better it will be, so spread the word!
