Math
McGuire: We are working on taxes, percentages, and ratios. The kids are working on designing their dream bedroom with a $1,000,000 budget. It is so much fun to hear their conversations. They are doing great with measuring out to scale. I think some of these kids are not hoping to win the lottery :)
