Math Talks | Doubling
In partners, students discussed the problem below:
Before they started working, the vast majority was quite confident that "$100.00 today" was the best option. After they started solving the problem, they saw the effect of doubling even starting with a small amount. We also discussed the different strategies were used to find the answer for this problem.
This lesson was also a initial conversation about Financial Literacy and how interest works. If you have a chance, talk with your child about savings and how to plan for the future.

If someone offered you the following options:
1. Accept $100.00 today
or
2. Accept $0.50 today and the double you received from the previous day for the next 10 days consecutive
Which option you would choose? Why?

The program, called “For Pita's Sake,” is still going strong. This program has been designed to teach healthy eating habits consistent with Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating and this fits in perfectly with the school health curriculum
It's also popular because it is presented by a registered dietician. Not only do we teach about our products, but also how they can easily fit into a healthy eating pattern.
Our class will participate on February 21st. Each child is responsible fro bringing in healthy ingredients to put in their pita. Pitas and hummus will be provided by Byblos Bakery.
