National Math Trail goes INTER-national
Here is a message from Weybridge, Surrey,
England from Tamar Attia and her Algebra class:
"I teach at an American school in England. I am doing the project with my
Algebra class and we are in progress. There is a forgotten garden on our school
grounds enclosed by walls over 200 years old. The garden in now being
rejuvenated and that is the source of my class' problems. They are assisting the
developers of the garden by figuring how much gravel to lay for paths and what
the cost will be, how large a circular grass plot should be if enclosed by a
rectangular path, etc. They have finished the initial draft of their problems
and are now working with the computer teacher to build a web page to submit
their results."
We should be done in a couple of months.
Looking forward to future contact, Tamar Attia
