The most popular activity during morning meeting is Magic Number. We count, sometimes by 1s, sometimes in more challenging ways, by 2s, 5s, or 10s. Sometimes we count backwards. We start at a number, such as 25 and then count to the Magic Number, such as 80. Whoever says the Magic Number sits down and we start counting again. It ends when only one student is left standing. The students love it and it’s great math practice!
