Sample  project  label:  Family Member Names: Jim and Randi Blue, Matt Blue, Greg Blue

Math Teacher(s): Miss Kidd, Mr. Bredland

We did math in or at: Kentucky Fried Chicken

Our math problem was: How many kids meals can we buy for $10.00?

What math did you use to solve your problem?

First we rounded the cost of the meal up so we could easily use mental math. Then we subtracted the cost of each meal from $10.00 using mental math until we had a difference less than the cost of one meal.

Dates  These  dates  are  included  in  your  

booklet.  

We look forward to seeing all of the fun math

thinking that our students do with their family

outside of the regular school day.
