Math on Monday
In math, students had a go at preparing themselves bite-size peanut butter sandwich snacks. Starting with two slices of bread and working their way down to sixteen pieces, the students used visual images and mathematical equations to represent their real life snack making. First they divided their two slices of bread into halves and then their resulting pieces into quarters, ending up with lots of yummy peanut butter sandwiches (eight sandwiches in theory). Of course some students opted to eat straight peanut butter, but seeing things from different perspectives is what math is all about.-Ethan
