*Number Detectives Freebie*

I had a whole different post planned, but I had one of those major brainstorms and came home and have been creating at my computer for some time with this big idea.  I have been trying and trying to find ways to challenge my high math kids this year and I think might have finally figured it out today during Math Work Stations.  These kids are Math Brainiacs I tell you, and I want to find ways to keep them excited without just passing them on to a 2nd grade teacher for Math.  Selfishly I also think this idea will keep me from having to search constantly for different materials. I was inspired by the other Mrs. King's  post :) about her Morning Meeting. If you haven't visited Second Grade Shenanigans, you are missing out. Her stuff is fabulous.

Sorry back to my idea- I love the idea of showing numbers different ways. Look I even took a picture with my phone so I wouldn't forgot my idea. Anybody else ever done that???

Well I thought this could be made into a  great little printable that could be used for morning work, math work stations, or even homework. So without further adieu here is my Number Detectives Printable!

Now I can go back to obsessing over whether or not we will be in school tomorrow as there is snow a-blowing outside my window!
