The UCMAS Advantage

• Math Friendship Bracelet Making
• Incorporate math concepts into the
  bracelet-making process by having kids measure
  and cut the thread to specific lengths. Challenge
  them to create patterns using math, like
  alternating colors in a specific order. This
  activity reinforces measurement and patterning
  skills.
• Math Bingo
• Adapt the bingo game to include math problems
  instead of names. Create bingo cards with math
  equations, and the students must solve the
  equation to mark off the correct answer. This
  encourages mental math and quick problem-solving.

• Math Storytelling Circle
• Ask students to share math-related stories or
  puzzles they encountered during the summer. For
  instance, they could share a story about dividing
  something equally among friends or solving a
  challenging math problem they encountered.
  Encourage critical thinking and mathematical
  discussions.
• Math Classroom Tours
• During the classroom tour, have students point
  out areas where math is essential, such as the
  math corner where theyll be solving problems.
  Include fun math facts about the classroom
  dimensions, like the length and width of the
  room. This helps students understand the
  real-world applications of math.

  strategies to
• solve quickly. This activity promotes mental
  agility and math
• skills.

• Math Outdoor Field Day
• Incorporate math into outdoor games by measuring
  distances for races or timing activities. For
  example, students can calculate their running
  speed or the total distance they covered during a
  relay race. This makes math learning engaging and
  active.
• By integrating UCMAS principles into these
  back-to-school activities, you can create a more
  holistic educational experience that not only
