Happy Monday,
I hope that you had a fantastic weekend! Are you ready for another great week? Each year on March 14th, we celebrate National Potato Chip Day. Did you know that the average potato chip is .04 to.08 of an inch thick? The recipe for today is Potato Chip Brownies. Are you a fan? Can you work with the recipe? What percentage of 6-2 students will like this particular food item? We will check out some potato chip flavors as well.
Speaking of Potato Chips....Matt Stonie enjoys them as well. How long will it take him to eat 2 pounds of chips?
March 14th is also Fill Your Stapler Day. We will check out a record for the most staples stapled into a piece of paper in 10 seconds. How many staples could you staple in 10 seconds? We will also learn about the largest mosaic made out of staples.
Of course, fact practice, number lines, matching, fractions, decimals, percents, ratios, rates, algebraic puzzles, expressions, equations, and more!
Have an awesome day!

The math fun will continue today! First up is Peanut Lovers' Day! Are you a fan of Peanut Butter Potato Chip Truffles? We are certain to find out! After that, we will chat about No Selfies Day and Panda Day a day early....Do you know when the selfie was first invented?
Did you know that when walking, pandas typically lumber along at speeds of 1.2 to 1.8 miles per hour and travel less than 0.62 miles per day, usually only moving around while foraging for food. Let’s chat about how long it would take a Panda to get across the classroom….An average human moves at a speed of nearly 3 miles per hour.
The pricing game for this week is called Pass The Buck....After 192 playings, it has been won 64 times. Why is this game so hard?
