Challenge your students to express their knowledge of significant figures by crafting their own set of two truths and a lie for their classmates to solve!
Looking for more activities, resources, and projects for teaching significant figures? Here’s just a few examples of other activities I have created to review sig figs!
Activity Instructions
Recently, I had my physical science students work through a series of five stations that had them practicing various aspects of working with significant figures.
One of the stations instructed them to create two truths and a lie about significant figures on a sheet of construction paper.
Student Work Examples
Here are some examples of two truths and a lie that my students created about significant figures.
This one was a bit different than the rest, and my students deemed it to be extra tricky!
We found out that pencil on construction paper is impossible to read on the document camera!
This student also made things tricky for her classmates by writing the numbers out in words!
This student decided to write his in neon expo marker. It’s kinda readable.
Presenting Them to the Class
We went over these one at a time to determine the lie as a last-minute review before our significant figures test. It was a great chance to put my new document camera to use! I used the Ipevo Presenter software to project the image on my SMARTboard.
What a great idea! I'd love to know what your other stations were!
