Shared Memories – Are They Identical?

Choose a past event that everyone experienced together.  Now take a few moments to recall the event in as much detail as you can.  Take turns describing the event and everything that happened.

Did everyone remember the same details?  Were there any disagreements about what really happened?

Play A Math Game – Number Chain

Stretch your creativity in this game of unusual number relationships.  Start with any one or two-digit number and build a chain that continues using numbers that are only one or two digits.  Here is an example:

1 - 11 - 2 - 24 - 8 - 4 - 16

Here is the explanation of the chain. 

• Eleven is the starting number in both the ones and the tens place.
• Two is the digit in the tens place added to the digit in the ones place.
• Twenty-four is two dozen.
• Eight is the result of multiplying the number in the tens place times the number in the ones place.
• Four comes from dividing the two previous numbers.
• Sixteen is four squared.

Have fun coming up with some patterns of your own.
