Getting to Know You

This being the first week of tutoring, you will be wanting to get to know your student.  Even for those of you who might know your student from previous years, this fun activity that I tracked down on the web is sure to make your student smile and say "Cool!".


Since you will be catching up or getting to know your student these first few weeks, you might want to do some "getting to know you" activities.  Ask your student to guess how old you are (that is if you are comfortable doing so).  Then do the same for your student.  Ask if they can guess how old you are in days, hours, minutes, and seconds.  Then go to this site:

Click on this webpage and calculate each other's age down to the second as well as how long until your next birthday!!  You both will be sure to get a kick out of the numbers you will see.  Enjoy!
