Wheels and Deals is pleased to partner with Bliss Carman Middle School, Atlantic Superstore, Fredericton Food Bank and Kwik Kopy on an exciting community project…..I Can Do Math!!!
The project has a mathematical and a humanitarian goal:
1) Mathematical- grade 8 students will measure and project how many cans of soup it will take to fill the back of a Ford F-150.
2) Humanitarian-Students will collect soup donations and will actually try to fill the truck with cans of soup. They will donate the cans of soup to the local Fredericton Food Bank.
This huggable project provides students with the opportunity for hands on math and to also learn about the Fredericton Food Bank and help others in their community!
Last week, students began measuring the truck and preparing their calculations.
Students measure Steve Webster’s, Sales & Finance Consultant, Ford F-150 to begin calculating
Students measure to calculate # of soup cans needed to fill the back of the truck
Students are excited to fill the truck and are welcoming donations. Donations of cans of soup can be dropped off at Bliss Carman Middle School or at our dealership, Wheels & Deals.
Special thanks and hugs to teacher Mr.Jacob Lingley for providing students with this learning opportunity and inviting us to participate!
Mr. Lingley was interviewed this morning on CBC Radio and talked more about the project:http://www.cbc.ca/informationmorningfredericton/2014/01/27/fill-a-truck-learn-math/
We will provide updates as the project progresses……
