Third Grade Update - January 25

We focused on just one main activity today.  Mental discipline.  I introduced the students to Hanoi's Tower.  This is an activity that was introduced to Hindu priests-in-training to help them increase their ability to concentrate.  At the same time it also has a math variable in that the number of moves it takes to complete the task is static.  I don't want to explain too much here yet, because we will look at the math aspect next week.


Here is a link to an online version. I am sure there are more, but I just want the children to have fun and yet practice at the same time.  http://www.mazeworks.com/hanoi/.
