7 ATE 9 (or did he?)

Will Private "I" be able to put 2 and 2 together to solve the case?  Should 6 really be afraid of 7? Did 7 eat 9?  Will Private "I" find 8 at the corner of 4th and 2nd?  And how about the root of 9's problem?  Who will eat the "pi" at Cafe Uno? Is 6 the next to be subtracted? Will the numbers add up? The mathematicians in room 302 should be able to answer all those questions for you after reading the book 7 ATE 9 by Tara Lazar today. As part of our countdown to winter break, the lesson began with the much anticipated unwrapping of the book. Students listened intently as the book was read aloud and identified the math concepts that were addressed in the story.  After all of our hard work following the case, we had to "Take 5" and enjoy a tasty chocolate treat!

Who knew that counting could be so mysterious and so fun!

Be sure to check back tomorrow to find out the next book in our countdown!
