"I'm thinking of a number..."

Ok you guys, let's see if you can do it. The challenge is this (use comments for this exercise):
  1. We are going to start with seven times three from the class list. That person has to make one "I'm thinking of a number" card.
  2. In decreasing order, the next one will solve the number.
  3. The one who wrote the card will say if it's correct or not. If not, he/she will say the answer.
  4. I'm thinking of a number
  5. The one who tried to find the number will write another "I'm thinking of a number" card and so on.
I will arbitrate the whole thing, so get focused on the blog and on my comments. Click on the image to find the examples we made the other day.

We can start now until next friday (april 1st).

LANDSCAPES PRESENTATION


This great job was done by Gossia. I hope you learn and enjoy it! Thanks Gossia.

By the way, as you like writing posts so much, you can tell us, what your fauvorite landscape is and why. For instance, I like very much the polar one: everything is white, with huge icebergs floating in a blue ocean, with those magnificent polar bears. It`s like being in another planet. What about you?
