Last week we returned to our class one day to find that someone had been in our room. They left some big clues to their identification behind, in the form of six giant pencils we found on the carpet. Our math detectives got straight to work measuring and calculating ratios. In the end we decided to use the ratio of our pencil to the giant pencil to compare our average student dimensions to the giant's dimensions.
There was a lot of measuring and calculating to do, but in the end we were able to use our numbers to create a sketch of the suspect. Our problem now, as you can see in the photos, is finding somewhere to post the picture of our suspect!
