That was followed by a fun Candy Cane Webquest to test our research skills! After warming up with those activities, the kids tackled "CSI Math Mysteries: Who Stole Santa's Sleigh?". They had a great time using multiplication, equivalent fractions, and adding decimals to determine which suspect committed the crime.
Finally, we explored how stimulation can actually grow neurons to change our brains! We watched another of our "Big Ideas" videos and then read an article about the science of neural stimulation and growth. The kids will be trying something new this week to "Grow Their Brains"!
HW: Edmodo-What did you try this week? How did it go?
Until next time,
