Easter egg hunt with a twist teaches math through play, fun

A French immersion teacher in Opelousas gave her fourth-graders an Easter egg hunt with a twist to make math practice a little more festive.
Heba Elseginy, French immersion teacher at Park Vista Elementary School, scattered colorful plastic eggs for her fourth-graders to find in the schoolyard this month, but they didn't find candy when they opened them.
"Inside the eggs were math problems from what we have been learning — multiplication, division, fractions, rounding up and down, finding area," Elseginy said.
Students worked out the problems on a small whiteboard they were carrying before rushing to show their teacher. Then they were rewarded with chocolate Easter candy.
