A Mathematical Tug-of-WarRound 1On one side are four Giant-Twenty-Something-Mutant-Ninja-Frogs who have left their pond for this special event. They all have well developed pulling muscles because they work out regularly at Silver’s Gym. All are known to be of equal strength. On the other side are five grandmas, a
tugging team that has practiced by making taffy for their grandchildren and playing
racquetball twice a week. They are Tai Chi masters of the first order. You should know
that they, too, are all of equal strength.
In a contest between the two teams, the result is a draw.
They are evenly matched and neither team can out-tug the other.
Round 2On one side is Kanga-tu, an especially well trained kangaroo that has a well developed tugging style
perfected by long months of rope-pulling. Kanga-tu has enjoyed tug-of-wars (or is it tugs-of-war?) since she was a
joey. Her opponent is a team made up of two grandmas and one Giant-Twenty-Something-Mutant-Ninja-Frog.
vs.Once again…
The result is a draw
Round 3On one side are Kanga-tu, a grandma, and two Giant-Twenty-Something-Mutant-Ninja-Frogs. Their opponent is a team with
the remaining Frogs and grandmas (four grandmas and 2 Frogs).

Who will win??? Why?? With your group, create a viable mathematical argument
to prove your position. Show your work/thinking or illustrate your thoughts.
Little Caesars Pizza Kit MathOne of the schools in our county had some extra fundraiser flyers and we used them in the math classroom.
Parents even donated some pizza kits for the students to enjoy pizza and cookies after the activity.
Turn your room into a restaurant and place students appropriately. Assign waitresses/waiters and patrons. Have them to complete the check for their table, and everyone needs to check the total bill. Enrichment: Provide them with discount coupons.
