I had the opportunity to read this book called Multiplying Menace, as it was one of the books I had purchased to giveaway at our `Ohana Math Night. I found this book to be a fun and informative book for students from second grade and beyond, as it works with multiplying whole numbers as well as fractions. In this story, Rumpelstiltskin returns after many years to seek his revenge upon Peter and the royal family. The only way the kingdom can be saved is for Peter to unlock the secret to the multiplying stick.
Yes, it truly is hard for this old dog to remember to use her blog! Although it has been over a month since our `Ohana Math Night, I’d like to mahalo each and every one of you who attended this fun and special night on February 2nd. Mahalo also to my “partner in crime”, Kumu Marcie for all of her hard work, as well as the many teachers who gave their time to help out that evening. Finally big thanks to Mrs. Debus and her awesome choir and the wonderful teachers who provided the sessions for the evening: Mrs. Ah Hee, Mrs. Rosehill, Mrs. Brilhante, Ms. Fullerton and Mrs. Oyama! It’s not too early to send me your ideas for next year’s `Ohana Math Night. Your suggestions would truly be appreciated, as I want it to be worthwhile for you and your keiki.
