Description
Starting classes with Two Truths and One Lie (2T1L) activities is a great way to spark creative and critical student thinking that will last for an entire lesson and beyond!
2T1L activities help your kids to develop reasoning skills, make logical arguments, express their ideas in words, and engage with visual mathematics—which ultimately leads to deeper and more meaningful understanding of challenging topics and concepts.
The daily graphics found in this eBook can be applied to dozens of topics and are aligned with math learning standards typically covered in grades 3,4, and 5, including:
-basic operations
-factors and grouping
-telling time and unit conversion
-skip counting
-area and perimeter
-area models and arrays
-operations in base-ten
-basic angle relationships
-working with decimals
-approximation
-exploration of multiplication and division
-fractions, fractions, fractions!
The activities are organized by topic/standard and are easy to project at the front of your classroom or print.
Review from Chelsea Holiday
This is my new favorite math book! My Grade 3/4 love doing two truths and one lie for math! The book has pages for every topic and an answer key which really comes in handy. It’s great when the kids start to “argue” about math and participate in discussions. It really is a great resource for engaging your students especially if they get easily bored by repetitive drill sheets. Thank you for this resource. I would recommend!

Review from Gabby Coleman
This book has GREATLY reduced the stress that comes with teaching 7th and 8th grade math. It’s made a huge difference with my students, and | am so glad | found it! Now we start every lesson off with a 2T1L problem from the book just to get the students thinking and communicating with each other (my kids work in pairs). | am very happy with the results, especially seeing my quiet students come out of their shell and participating! This is a great tool that every teacher should have!
