Today our 6th grade math students completed a fun math lab that required them to apply the ratio concepts they have been learning in class to make slime. They worked through a series of clues left behind by a mad scientist named Dr Frankenslime in order to figure out the correct amount of each ingredient to create the perfect batch of slime! Math + slime = the best Halloween school day!
