Last week in math, the students worked VERY hard to solve a problem about buying and cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. The students were given the weight of a turkey and the price per pound. The class worked together to figure out the total cost of the turkey. Next, the students had to think about how long to cook their turkey, and again they were given how many minutes per pound to cook their turkey. Lastly, they had to figure out what time to put their turkey in the oven if the wanted dinner to start at a certain time when their guests arrive. The class did an excellent job and thought deeply about multiple strategies to solve the questions in a variety of ways.
