Raft Rally

During the week of September 10th we had our first problem solving task in Mr. C's Math Academy. We were challenged with a learning goal: in teams, create a raft out of a 20cm x 20cm square of tin foil and four plastic straws. The only tool permitted was a pair of scissors. Students had 20 minutes to build their raft before it was launched in "Lake Child"

Each team did a great job and had fun in the process. The winning raft was able to hold 112 pennies. The prize...112 pennies! Hey Mimi I hoped you split your winnings with your teammates. Who says school doesn't pay?
