Making the most of math
Students at Madison Elementary School spent time outside recently studying math in a fun way - at the math Olympics. Stations were set up in the field next to the school; the first station was a paper airplane toss. Students tossed a paper airplane and measured the distance of the throw in centimeters. The final calculation was to find the team average, (total score divided by the number of team members). The next event was a sand spoon relay.
