In our math huddle today, each student chose a digit between 3 and 9. Due to the nature of the activity, 0, 1, 2 are too small and we wanted to use only single digits for this activity. Then number the students chose was written in the center of a new page of their math huddle notebook. This number then could represent a sum, a difference, a product or a quotient; meaning that students had to find equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication and/or division where the answer equaled the digit on their page. This was a fun, challenging activity where students needed to think critically. We also had some answers that involved multiple digits and operations, and the use of parenthesis was incorporated a few times.
