The beauty in The Lost Thing is that it settles into one’s soul in a casual and poetic way. What starts as a sort of amusing but sad story finds its way deeper into your heart. You begin to wonder, to ask questions. Soon you find yourself wanting to stand up and defend all the lost things in the world—including that lost part of yourself.
Are you somehow guilty too, you wonder? Quite unexpectedly, you begin to really feel the world Shaun Tan creates. It is a wonderful experience in mindf

Exponent Dice Game
I created this dice game for students to practice exponents after our multiplication lesson on exponents. The strategy of the game is to choose the base and exponent that will give you the highest answers, because at the end the students will have to total up their answers in order to see who wins with the highest total. This helps with number sense, multiplication practice, and understanding exponential form.
