Great People Pattern Energizers: Do with your whole class
Here are some people patterns that really can get your class moving. I would project them on the overhead or pull them up on the interactive board and have the students do them as a class. They are a quick math energizer that gets everyone doing a little bit of exercise too!

Here is a great game that can be used in a variety of ways. First, I would use this with a small guided math group so that I could work with students about thinking about the input and output. I would facilitate the discussion as the students took turns operating the machine. Next, I would have students play this game with a partner at the computer center. One partner would do the input and the other would have to explain what happened in the output. Finally, I would have this as an individual center where students played by themselves.
