JiJi Day is almost here again! Go ahead and mark your calendars for Friday, April 29.
JiJi is the penguin who guides students through their ST Math journey. JiJi is a constant as students think through, attempt and solve challenging mathematical puzzles. In many cases, JiJi helps students put words to their relationship and productive struggle with math!
JiJi Day is a great opportunity to celebrate math, growth mindset, and perseverance. This year, JiJi Day will take place on Friday, April 29 and JiJi is celebrating 25 years of helping students through their math journey. Wow!
JiJi Day is a great day to get some extra ST Math minutes into your schedule.
Here are some ideas to make JiJi Day special:
Play a special 25 Years of JiJi puzzle from the game Turtle Sums. You can do this activity as a class, in small groups, or even send it home for a family math night activity.
Turtle Sums is part of MIND Research Institute's MathMINDs activities, which includes games, stories and maker activities to increase community engagement and connection with mathematics.
There’s lots of other ways to explore the number 25 depending on where your students are in their math journey. What do you notice and wonder?
There are lots of opportunities to be creative on JiJi Day. Check out some of our past activities and printables. We can’t wait to see how you and your students celebrate!
