Pair, Longer, Shorter

One of our first activities in math was a partner match game.  Each child had his or her own length of paper.  The task was to find someone with a paper the same length to make a pair.  Someone with a longer strip couldn't make a pair or someone with a shorter strip couldn't make a pair.  We started our hunt for a match to make a pair!

Once the students matched a pair, we had a getting to know you activity.  Students could interview each other to get to know their classmates.

It was fun learning about pair, longer, shorter, but most of all it was fun to learn about each other!
