My Geometry Honors students took their EOC this past Monday and Tuesday. So the rest of this week, I have been giving them miscellaneous mini challenges, nothing too deep. One day they had to find a buried treasure using geometric constructions. Today, I gave them the Four Fours Worksheet. All students were engaged with this worksheet, even those that mentally drift off. They were getting frustrated ("I'm gonna break this calculator!", "This is harder than the EOC!"), but they would not let it beat them. The office called to tell me one of my girls was checking out. She is typically chatty and not-so-engaged. She told me, "I only have 2 more to find and I'm not leaving till I get them!". She checked out 5 minutes later, AFTER she found the last two! Needless to say, it was a good day! Here's the link to my version of the Four Fours Wkst.
