Weekly Wonder is for teachers wanting a supply of puzzles and games delivered each week in their email. There are 3 bands of emails roughly corresponding to grade levels: K-2, 1-4, and 2-5. You are welcome to sign up for more than one band.
Each Weekly Wonder email contains:
Tip of the Week for families doing fun math with their children
Guiding the Wonder has ideas for how to help your students explore this activity in your classroom
There are at least two ways you can use this.
Copy the top portion of the WW email and send it as part of a weekly email you send to your families. You might also include the downloaded PDF from the EFM page.
Use the materials as a Puzzle of the Week in your classroom.
Sign up for the Sampler and immediately receive a Welcome, two puzzles, and a game for each of the three levels. These will all come in a burst over the next 30 minutes.
Sign up for a grade level band to start receiving one of those emails each week.
As a mathematics teacher educator, I work regularly with kids from First Grade all the way up to University students, and I have been enjoying the Weekly Wonder puzzles each week. I signed up for all of them! While a puzzle might be labeled K-2, I have found them to be fun for people of all ages … they’re just accessible enough for a Kindergartener to try. There are wonderful connections among the different grade levels, and themes that develop from week to week. A learner who enjoys one might be able to pose extensions themselves. Give them a try – for your learners or yourself!
These are wonderful and I do not want to miss a week.
I love your Weekly Wonder activities.
I’ve signed up for your weekly emails and puzzles which look great.
I’m loving these problems! Thank you!
