We took a trip through the wardrobe and discovered Narnia in Mrs. Towne's classroom!
We turned right at the lamp post and had tea at Mr. Tumnus's house.
We tried three different flavors of Turkish Delight.
We had to vote and graph our favorites. Hmmm... was rose, lemon or mint the best?
The scones and tea were also delicious!
Aslan was there, too!
We marked our favorites on the board and discovered a lot about making a good graph.
When tea was over, we tried our hand at figuring our some Narnia-related word problems. Some of them required fractions ...
and multiplication.
All of them required logical thinking.
How far from the lamp post to Mr. Tumnus' house? 18 miles.
After talking about lining up the bars in a bar graph and labeling the categories and information collected, we could easily see that lemon was the clear favorite. We even graphed second and third choices and got into some sophisticated discussions about how to interpret this data.
Magic and math! Or is it magical math?
