    This document outlines the expectations and tasks for a mathematics classroom. It includes questions for a "Do Now" activity asking students to define mathematics, where they see it in the world, and when they felt successful in math. It then lists the classroom rules and expectations, including being on time, using appropriate behavior, using electronics wisely, and following directions. The document describes two group tasks - building the tallest free-standing tower out of toothpicks and marshmallows, and using only 4's to write numbers 1-20. It includes roles, supplies, instructions, and reflection questions for each task.

    someone elses role. Example: Team captain acts as the facilitator as well.

    Supplies:
    Team Basket, tooth picks, and marshmallows.
