Prep Position Freeze Game

Turn on some lively music and move around. When the music stops, you must freeze in a prep position. Then you must tell what your preposition is. A prep position is any position that shows a preposition and includes an object. Here are some examples:

        Under the table

        Over the rug

        On the chair

        Against the wall

        Inside the box

        Beside the piano

        At the door

        With a friend

        Near the bench

Order of Operations song

We had fun learning the order of operations with a song we found online. Here's how it goes.

The Order of Operations

To the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know it”

The order of operations goes like this: (clap clap)

The order of operations goes like this: (clap clap)

The order of operations goes like this: (clap clap)

Parenthesis (arms up and curved in ballet style)

Power, (fisted arms representing power)

Multiply (arms crossed in front)

Divide, (left arm down to side; right arm bent at elbow and straight across chest)

Then you add (bring the left arm up perpendicular to the other to make a plus symbol)

And subtract (take the left arm away)

From left to right (right arm swings to the right)

Left to right! (clap clap)
