Banana Slug Math!

Banana slug math - complete with tiny 

edible banana (slugs)!  Yum!

Give the problem a try and then ask a third

grader how he or she solved it.  

A banana slug was at the bottom of a hole 7 feet deep.  

It started climbing to the top.  Each day it climbed up 

3 feet, but at night when it slept it slid down 2 feet.  

How many days did it take the banana slug to get out of the hole?

STOP!

If you plan to try to solve the problem, do not go

any further or you will see the answer!

Continue on to see how some students solved the problem.

B-I-N-G-O Night Profits!!!

Third graders helped organize, stack, and roll the 

B-I-N-G-O bucks!  Then 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th graders, 

and some adults estimated how much money was 

made on B-I-N-G-O night!  

A cool $777.10 was taken in!

Thanks to all who helped out by sending in prizes, food

for the concession, and/or attending the event!

Piglet "Palace" Models!

Third graders continued their work with area and perimeter

by making models of piglet pens.  

They used a 1:12 ratio.  1" represented 12" or 1'

Appropriate tools were utilized to precisely measure 

lengths and height for fencing for each model.  

Students did a terrific job building their models to scale!
