This week and last week we had the pleasure of Skyping with 2 third grade classes from St. Joseph School in York, PA. We played 2 games each week with 2 different teams. The children could only ask Yes and No questions to gather clues and try to guess the Mystery Number of the other team. Some examples were: Is your number even? Is your number higher then 50? Is your number a multiple of 5? We used a hundreds chart to keep track of the clues we were gathering. Then we narrowed it down until we could take a guess. We lost the first 2 rounds last week and then learned from our mistakes so we were able to win the last 2 rounds this week. We had to stay on our toes and think carefully to ask a good question. Watch this movie to see some photos and videos from the Skype.
