That's the way the cookie Tumbles!!!!

Our class took part in the O.R.E.O. (Our Really Exciting Online) project hosted by Jennifer Wagner from jenuinetech.com. This year's project invited students from all over the world to stack Oreo cookies as high as he or she can and then average the data to achieve a final class result. Students were not allowed to use anything to stabilize or adjust the cookies as they were stacked. The students had a great morning predicting, stacking, counting , tallying, and yes finally getting to eat the Oreo cookies. What amazing "Meaningful Math !" A big thank you to Brianna, Emily, Cassidy,Jaelene, and Colby our Grade Five helpers. It will be interesting to see how Taylor 2B Top Dogs stacked up against the rest of the world.
