Math Night Scavenger Hunt
Are you looking for a simple idea for your school's math event? I used this activity during our school's math night. Students were invited to complete the hunt with their invited guests. Students had fun applying the math skills. As an added bonus, I offered small incentives to everyone who finished the task and larger prizes for first finishers and best estimators. You can adapt this activity and do it during a classroom math lesson as well!
Thanks for looking at Pink Froggies creations!
