Counting down the last few days

[hauntmeister]

Our last day of school is nominally Monday, June 28th, but students will stop showing up at least a week before that. Those snow days pushed our last day from the 24th to the 28th...And WHO, students and teachers alike, will be showing up for a half-day on a Monday when we were already supposed to be on vacation

Do you mention the Gauss story as part of the 1+...+100 lesson?

[hauntmeister]

Not explicitly, though I had the story in the back of my head when I was putting that particular lesson plan together. This is a nice version of it...Maybe I'll crib a few of the ideas!

I won't try to guess how it would play to your students, but I know D. was particularly taken with the young-Gauss-showing-up-his-teacher aspect of it.
