7) Start the lesson with a question. A student told me that because he had a birthday that day he was special. I said you share your birthday with a lot of other people. He asked how many, the class all took a guess and I googled the answer. Another day we wondered what the average shoe size was for a teenager. Everyone in the room gave their shoe size and we graphed that result and made a line of best fit.
If you are stumped, ask your students to write questions for their warm ups. The answers have to be numbers. Don’t be surprised if one of the questions is: How many Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino can you buy with $1 million.
