Yuletide Fun with Geometry

Agreed, the holiday season is not a time to talk or teach or have anything at all to do with studies, least of all learning math. But then, what if your teacher told you that your Christmas project is something to do with learning geometry? Well, that’s exactly what Ms. Reeves math class at Kinston school was asked to do – draw graphs for their Christmas project. However, it’s not as bad as it sounds; their Christmas project was made up of geometry, graphs, baking and at the same time, was scrumptious too. Have a look at this video and you’ll know how.

Who would say no to such a yummy Christmas project? When the competition entails building the ultimate gingerbread house, who wouldn’t go all out to ensure his or her house is the tastiest? Especially when parents are involved in the task, it gets all the more fun. Chocolate roofs and candy canes, what better way to kick off the Yuletide spirit and the holidays?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
