Elementary Math About Me Activity | Back to School Hexagon Bulletin Board

Description

Start the school year with a back to school math activity your elementary students will actually want to do.

This Math About Me Hexagon activity combines identity, creativity, and real math skills so students can express who they are through numbers on day one. Every prompt is a low-stakes way to review math concepts while building classroom community from the start.
