Cushy job

Man, I have the easiest summer job.  I'm teaching two classes, Chess and Board Games, at a local school and getting paid an amazing amount to play games with kids grades 3-6.  Ridiculous, I know.  Glorified Babysitting.  But man its nice.  We had fun today with Uno, Pigs, and Yahtzee. Tomorrow we'll play a bunch of card games and chinese checkers.

Meanwhile, I'm planning ahead for the fall.  Trying to think of cool lessons for geometry next year.  Any ideas?

Pigs is such a fun game and a great one for math skills! My problem is I never know when to stop! I often end up with double pigs. (squeal)

Yeah, they really liked pigs. I was surprised that they all had really strong math skills. One boy got 75 in in one turn and then double pigs.
