Day+6


 * __Day 6__**

//Lights On, Lights Off// - to make this activity more interactive, have students stand in a circle and sit/squat when turned off, stand when turned on - when students are using the red and yellow counting chips, you may wish to encourage them (after some experimentation) to record their moves on paper (using red and yellow markers) so that they can remember the steps they took to get all the lights on :) - have them teach someone else to help consolidate their understanding (or demonstrate in front of the class)

- we would recommend using a ball of string, so that when the students are standing in groups of five, they can toss the ball and hang onto the string to "see" the lines that make up the star - discuss with students how they created their star (how many students were in between each toss, etc.) - then provide students with the chart (partially filled out) so they begin to recognize a pattern, from this they will learn that they will need to toss over 2 people when in a 7-person star, 3 people when in a 9-person star - they can then try to create these stars - followed by seat work where they try and work through their patterning ideas to complete the rest of the chart
 * //STARS// **

// **CRYPTO** (//alternate ways of play) - have table challenges to begin, where everyone is given 1-2 minutes to try and come up with a solution, with the goal in mond of getting the most points "as a table" - after playing a few rounds this way, every student has had ample time to try and find a solution using more than one card, with help from their peers - they can then play as individuals against their group members (first one to lay a solution gets those points) - ALSO: you may wish to have students keep their four cards for a few rounds to get used to the numbers they have (maybe re-shuffle and deal every 3-4 rounds)

- NEED TOOTHPICKS!!
