Let your imagination run wild as you transform everyday objects into something different! In this playful warmup activity, students take turns generating ideas about what everyday objects could become. The objects can turn into something as wild as students like - they should have fun with it!
This activity is designed to set the right tone for the rest of your lessons by not limiting our ideas to what seems sensible or possible, and to show that play is a fun way to encourage creative thinking and problem solving.

In this activity, students explore how tournament brackets are structured in sports and how math is used to create fair and balanced competitions. Students examine examples of single-elimination brackets, identify how powers of two shape tournament design, and analyze how the number of teams affects each round. Using the MLS playoff format as a real-world model, students consider how wild card games and uneven team counts influence bracket construction.
