Fun with Alexa : Math Vocabulary



One more thing that my students enjoy with the Echo Dot

I write out:   Alexa pick a number between 1 and 100

then the student  and I take turns having Alexa pick a number

I write the numbers next to each other and ask, “Which is the biggest number?”

We circle the biggest number and then put the greater than/ lesser that carat between the numbers.


One caveat, however,  some students  do not like to lose!!


:::grin:::


Note:  Alexa will pick a number from any number to any number.  One fun thing is to have her pick a number and see if students can figure out how to always have a higher number than you (sort of Price is Right thinking).

February 12 2018 Alexa Good Morning (Gateway Arch)

Alexa Good Morning!   Good morning! Fifty-five years ago today, construction began on the tallest arch in the world, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. As it was built, if either leg had been off by just one-sixty-fourth of an inch, the two sides of the arch wouldn't have met, and a tiny error would've turned monumental. Gateway Artch Worksheet
