O.R.E.O. Challenge

October 8, 2009 · No Comments

4K took the O.R.E.O. Project challenge this week and snacked on yummy cookies while working on math skills.

Each student was allowed 2 attempts to try to stack as many cookies as high as they could. As one student stacked cookies, his or her partner helped count the cookies. After the attempts were completed and recorded, the class worked together to find the important landmarks from the data they collected.

Here are the results from the 4K stacking challenge:

  • Maximum number of cookies stacked – 25 cookies
  • Minimum number of cookies stacked – 15 cookies
  • Range of the number of cookies stacked – 10 cookies
  • Mode of the number of cookies stacked – 21 cookies
  • Average of the number of whole cookies stacked – 20 cookies
