Multiplication and Red Velvet Cake

What we remembered this week, and what we learned about math:

"I remembered all the food and how to do multiplication. I learned in math nothing really, but I was reminded about a lot of stuff like long division and multiplication."-Yacoob

"I learned about in the past week is math. Also we learned a bout how to make a cake with limited resources. And about a great person, Debbie Baumgartner. I learned math, the diameter, radius, fractions..."-Heather

"I remember that we did fun stuff like bake a cake on Wednesday. I learned that math can be fun sometimes when you want it to be."-Angelina

"All I remember this week is math and more math, but it was not so bad learning about it. What I learned in math was percent and proportion. It was fun because I never learned that before."-Mollie

"This past week was a lot of fun. We talked a ton about math and watched School House Rock videos. The "eights" was the worst of all. Isaac liked it probably because the girls complained when he picked it. This week I also learned that Isaac is hillarious to watch eat. When we made cakes on Wednesday, Jake got red cake mix all over the shoulder of Isaac's shirt, but then Isaac spilled butter and cake mix over the rest of it, so it really didn't matter. The boys' cake looked terrible, but it tasted pretty good. The girls' cake was beautiful and they were pretty proud of it. But, back to Isaac eating...I can't even describe it well enough to do it justice, but let's just say it is a mess...Cake on the shirt, on the floor, on the face, garlic sauce from the pizza on his pants...I think he could make a mess with just anout anything, but we all got a good laugh. Kyle and I thought there should be a reality TV show on Isaac because it would be hillarious and we would definitely watch. Oh yeah, the math was pretty good, too. Fractions, multiplication, and division were up this week. I learned the lattice method. I don't like it and will never use it. I'm too old school for this new fangled something."-Becky

"I recall Isaac's nice, clean, white shirt on Wednesday. I recall it didn't last long. We made red velvet cake to showcase our fraction skills. Isaac proceeded to spill 1/3 cup of butter down the front of that shirt. And, while pouring batter, Jacob preseed 1/2 of the beaters into Isaac's right shoulder. 3/4 of Isaac's shirt was covered in butter and deep red cake batter. On the way home, Isaac spilled 1/4 of his Rock Star energy drink on his pants. Isaac's mom was 5/5 mad when he got home. PS-The next day, 7/27, Isaac spilled garlic butter on the front of his shorts. Poor Isaac."-Kyle
