Linden School No. 8 Shamrockin Math

Here’s a math riddle for you from your friends at School No. 8What do you get when you add math content together with games, divided into four fun stations, and multiplied by food, families, and live music for all?… Answer: …You get School 8’s “Shamrockin’ Math Night,” which was held March 9, 2017.

(above) Linden Police Officers Raul Jordan & Adam Mikolajczyk work with Layla Safner of School No. 8 at the Shake Shack station. School No. 8 families were challenged to build the tallest structure they could using paper cups and craft sticks. Amazing structures, such as the one pictured here, were created and then measured using yard sticks and measuring tapes. The next step was to compare the heights of their Shake Shack with the heights of the other Shake Shacks at their tables. Families were eager to increase the heights of their towers so that they were able to claim the bragging rights as the builder of “School 8’s Tallest Shake Shack”! School No. 8 Shake Shacks seemed to defy gravity!
