Walking into the RYNJ lunchroom this past Wednesday evening felt like a wonderland of numbers! First grade students, along with their parents and grandparents, enjoyed a marvelous night of interactive math games at the annual First Grade Family Math Night! The event was filled with three rotating stations of entertaining games that were run by the wonderful first grade general studies team. It was a great opportunity for the first graders to work on their critical thinking skills and reasoning ability, all while playing games and spending quality time with family and friends.

The night ended off with a bang, when the winner of the Jelly Bean Jar Estimation Challenge was announced. Mazal tov to Binyamin Weinstein from 1B1, who took home a jar of 624 jelly beans, with the closest estimation of 632! Enjoy those jellybeans! In fact, each player got to take home a prize: their very own deck of cards so they can play the games at home again and again.
