Week 4 - July 28

The Real Scoop

Read this:

July is National Ice Cream Month, begun by President Reagan in 1984. Ice cream, or “iced cream” as they called it back in George Washington’s time, has actually been around a lot longer than that: even 2,400 years ago the Romans would take ice that they schlepped down from the mountains (since they didn’t have fridges or freezers) and mix it with fruit. Thanks to electricity, getting ice cream is a lot easier now, and we can focus on the really important stuff – like what flavors go together best on a cone, and whether gummy bears will stick without sliding off.

A note from Mrs. Milton:

Let's try out some math problems. Remember to continue to answer questions and complete tasks until you need adult assistance or you reach the end of your comfort zone. You may reach step 2, for some step 5 and for others you may go all the way. Each problem will present different challenges for each child.
