Back to School pennant: A Math GLYPH

"A glyph?" I asked myself. "What is a GLYPH?" I asked some friends and one of them knew. 

"It's like one of those things where kids color based on things they like, like they'd color the stars yellow if their favorite class is Art."

"Oh I see!" Glyphs are COOL!

After a teacher left feedback stating that she wished my Back to School Math Pennant was also a glyph, I decided to add student directions to turn 2 of the pennant choices into glyphs. 

I also converted one of the pennants into a digital drag-and-drop math activity in GOOGLE Slides. The digital and print versions are all in the same file. 

Each pennant has a Golden Spiral theme. There is also a simple lesson included that ties in the Golden Ratio in nature and the Fibonacci sequence, making this activity a perfect way to start a year of math.

Kate from To The Square Inch shared this photo of her back to school math pennants on her classroom math bulletin board, and I was all heart eyes.

All 7 of the pennant versions can still be used as free-coloring pennants (some have get-to-know-you questions on them like "Favorite Color", "Favorite Class", etc.) and now students can also color their pennants based on their answers to a set of student questions.

Do you have a math word wall in your classroom? This year I converted all of my printable math word walls to be interactive digital! You can read more about them in the post Digital Math Word Walls.

Happy Back to School Season!
