What have poetry and ice-cream got to do with patterns in math?
Ask our students!
This year, once a month, students will participate in an in-depth, two-hour exploration of patterns math. These activities will provide opportunities to connect complex concepts in math.
This first activity focused on the (x, y) intercept and plotting slope as it connected to Shel Siverstein's Eighteen flavors:
Eighteen Flavors
Eighteen luscious, scrumptious flavors
Chocolate, lime and cherry,
Coffee, pumpkin, fudge banana
Caramel cream and boysenberry.
Rocky road and toasted almond,
Butterscotch, vanilla dip,
Butter brickle, apple ripple,
Coconut and mocha chip,
Brandy peach and lemon custard,
Each scoop lovely, smooth and round,
Tallest ice cream cone in town,
Lying there (sniff) on the ground.
Thank you Mr. Nichols!
