- Title: Math Curse Revisited
- Start Date: October 1
- End Date: Open throughout duration of project.
- Summary: In Jon Scieszka's book, Math Curse, a little girl
wakes up feeling she's been cursed...a "math curse", because everywhere she
looks, everything she sees, everything that happens to her...she sees as some sort of math
problem, because her teacher has told her "YOU KNOW, you can think of almost
everything as a math problem."
For example, when she looks in her closet, she sees that she has
"...1 white shirt, 3 blue shirts, 3 striped shirts, and that 1 ugly plaid shirt that
Uncle Zeno sent me." She then ponders the following questions:
1. How many shirts is that all together?
2. How many shirts would I have if I threw away that awful plaid shirt?
3. When will Uncle Zeno quit sending me such ugly shirts?
FOR OUR PROJECT---The teacher shares the story with their class.
Kids then think of their next day "mathematically"...seeing how many ways they
can find math problems creeping up on them throughout the day. On the list, they'd share
*their* "math curse" days.
