Mystery Number Skype

Today our class did our first Mystery Number Skype! Our class connected with Mrs. Cassidy's Grade One class from Moose Jaw, Canada via Skype. 

First, we learned some things about our new friends. 

• They live in Canada.
• They are two hours ahead of us.
• The weather in Moose Jaw today was snowy! Mrs. Cassidy showed us the view outside their window. Our kids were amazed!

Next we started our Mystery Number game. Each class chose a secret number (between 1-20) and then asked "yes" or "no" questions to try to figure out the other classes secret number. We used our white boards to cross off numbers as they were eliminated. Our class asked questions such as: Is it an even number? Mrs. Cassidy's class asked us if our number had one digit. That was a great question that we had to discuss before we could answer. The students took turns asking questions and crossing off numbers until they were ready to make a guess.

Mrs. Cassidy's class guessed our number first! It was 15. Way to go!

Then we guessed theirs. It was 11! Amazing job, first graders!

Thank you to Mrs. Cassidy's class for playing with us today! We hope to do this again soon with another class. I wonder where the next class we Skype with will be from?
