It's almost Halloween y'all! We had our party last weekend, and it was a blast. For everyone who came out, thank you! I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did.
Another tradition we have here is playing Halloween Bingo at the end of classes during October. Now, when you play something like this so often, you start to notice a few details. For example, on the 3x3 board, you only need 7 bingo chips. If you have seven squares covered, you definitely have bingo.
You also notice that it is possible to get a Triple Bingo. The setup is almost impossible -- you have to get two opposite corners, three chips each, and then finish with the middle square. I noticed this possibility a few years ago, and I always hyped it up with my students. The rare, the mythical Triple Bingo! Will we see it today?? But we never saw it.
Never...until last week.
Behold, the Triple Bingo!
When will the next Triple Bingo appear? We still have one more day of Halloween bingo...and then Christmas Bingo is just around the corner. Stay tuned!
