I love using the Two Truths and a Lie strategy to get students practicing applying math concepts in my class. Normally, this is used as an ice breaker. For example, I might share the following three
Capturing your students’ interest and curiosity during the first few minutes of class is the key to keeping them engaged for your entire lesson. But not all math warm up activities are created equally. Math teachers miss out on activating their students’ critical thinking and reasoning skills when
Have you heard of the game Two Truths and a Lie? Essentially it is a classic icebreaker game where the players try to determine which of three statements is false. If you haven’t played before it is a lot of fun – so I decided that we could play it on my blog today. Read each statement about me and decide for yourself which ones are true and which one is not. #1 – I climbed out of a boat in the middle of the everglades in Florida and held an alligator. #2 – I ran all the way up to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. #3 – I hung out with Amar’e Stodemeir backstage at a Destiny’s Child concert. Which one do you think is a lie? The truth is that I actually did all three. #1 – True: I went on a tour of Everglades and the tour guide actually got out first, he explained that out in the open it was perfectly safe so I jumped out of the boat. I also held a baby alligator – it was about 2 feet long. #2 – Technically this is false, because I did not run the entire way, but I did climb up to the top. I visited the famous Leaning Tower when I was in college and people were still allowed to climb up the stairs at that time. The stairs were made of stone and very uneven and there was no guardrail, so it was actually little scary, but I did climb to the very top. #3 – True: I had a part-time job doing marketing at events and I was able to attend a Destiny’s Child concert on their farewell tour. Because I had a staff pass, I was allowed to go back stage and during an intermission Amar’e Stoudemier came backstage to meet the band. We actually hung out and talked for several minutes. He was very nice and very TALL in person. Now its your turn, share your two truths and lie in the comments below.

Two truths and a lie is a popular game for students, work, or any time. These funny lie ideas trick others and keep them guessing!
A few weeks ago, I shared a free template I created for using 2 Truths and a Lie in class. Specifically, I shared examples of using the practice structure with a few vocab words: absolute value, oppos
I had a goal to have my students write more in math class this year, without making writing such a big deal. When students hear that they are writing in math, their responses range from disbelief to outright indignation. "Why are we writing in math?! This isn't English." So I try to sneak it in their when possible. I did this activity with my students at the end of the year--really the last few weeks of school, after STAAR testing was over. I was pleasantly surprised how engaged they were and I am excited to try it again next year when summer isn't on everyone's mind. In this activity, we start by playing Two Truths and a Lie-- the get to know you game. This can work at anytime of the year as students always like sharing things about themselves. I first share two truths and one lie about myself (this is how I announced my pregnancy to my students last year) so students know what to do. Then, I give each student a post-it and ask them to write Two truths and one lie about themselves then they share with their group and the other students guess what is the lie. I spent about 10 minutes on this part. It gets students talking to each other and excited about class. This way when they go into the activity they are smiling and laughing instead of depressed that they have to writing. Then I explain we are going to do Two Truths and a Lie-- The Math Version. Each group is given a sheet of paper with a graphic or word problem on it. There are 2-3 students per group, so I will have about 12 different papers distributed around the room. The group is then asked to write two truths and one lie about the graphic or word problem. I did model this for my students before I passed out the papers. I asked them to dig deep and come up with something profound--not something like there are two dots on this graph. I was happy that some students voluntarily did computation as their truths and then wrote a sentence about it instead of just stating facts they could see without computation. After all groups had their two truths and a lie written down, I gave each student 4 post-its and asked them to find the lies on 4 other papers. I asked them to write a sentence about why it was a lie instead of just stating "Number 2 is a lie." In the process, students found that some papers had two lies or that there weren't any lies at all--either students didn't follow instructions, or they had made a mistake. Here are some students papers after the activity. This activity can be made easily-- you can take pictures of graphics in textbooks, worksheets, make your own graphics, etc. You can have the whole activity be centered around one concept, or a review of several concepts. I have a FREE sample of what I used in my classroom--it is appropriate for grade levels 6-8. Here is my first completed activity focused on one topic--Geometry. This has 21 pages of graphics that will prompt students to write about triangle properties, area of polygons, and volume of rectangular prisms. There are two versions--one with just the graphics and the other with two truths and a lie already written for students to choose from. Get it HERE. Here is the next completed activity focused on Statistics. This one is editable if you want to change out the truths and lies to focus on specific vocabulary or concepts. Get it HERE.

The Harry Potter story is one of those franchises with a universal appeal. People of all ages and from all walks of life can become completely immersed in the story of an ordinary boy-turned-wizard, and it’s one that makes us all dream about one day receiving our own Hogwarts acceptance letter (we still check the mail for it every day). Most people fall somewhere on the spectrum between having a casual interest and being an all-out obsessed fan. So what kind are you? Have you read every book multiple times, or did you switch to the movies after the first one? Is your dream vacation a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios, or would going to a Harry Potter theme park make you feel totally lame? This quiz will test your knowledge of HP in a fun, unique way: we’ll tell you three “facts” about the series, and you’ll have to decide which one is a total lie. Ready to see if you’re as brainy as Hermione? Grab your wand and let’s get started!
