COVER STORY
I feel we have to approach education with the determination to affect each and every one of our students. The mentality of achieving "success" after reaching one child isn't enough.

    School Year Calendar

    from Mary E. Miehl


    This month's Teachers.Net Gazette offers a July 2003 - July 2004 school year printable calendar in three formats. An Adobe Acrobat (pdf) version of the Microsoft Word 2000 (or above) file (doc) which has nested tables at the top of each month's page showing the previous and next month and a Microsoft Word 97 format for users who want to be able to digitally edit but don't have the newer version of Word. (Word 97 does not read nested tables.) You will be able to digitally edit the Word formatted calendars as you would any Word document.

    Tic Tac Math

    Hi! Six years ago when I taught first and second out in California, I found a game called "Tic Tac Math". I think it was in Wal-green's or another similar store. Essentially it was 9 or 12 tic tac toe boards put together. Instead of blank spaces to put an X or an O on, there were peg holes with a number 0 - 9 (I think there was another side with larger numbers, but I could be wrong). What you would do is roll two dice, then you could choose to either add or subtract what you rolled. Ex. You roll a 3 and 4, it could either be a 1 or a 7. Once you decided what you wanted to do (add or subtract) you would then place one of your pegs by the sum or difference on any one of the tic tac math boards. Of course, if all of the numbers with your sum or difference had already been used, you would lose your turn. Whoever had the most tic tac toes at the end of the game won.

    Well, when I moved back to Texas, I left the game in my old classroom. My first graders would be staying in the same room and become second graders, and I knew how much they loved that game. I thought I could find it again quite easily. I was wrong. For the past four years I have been looking for it. Tonight I decided to do a web search for it, but did not have any luck (all I found were a bunch of sites with lesson plans for a Tic Tac Math game on the whiteboard).

    So, can anyone help me? I really don't want to try to reproduce this on my own if it's still out there somewhere.

    Thanks so much in advance.

    Laura/First/Texas

    Is this anything like what you had in mind? No pegs, but the children could put markers on the answers.

    There are nine different sheets in this file.
