Activities
- R2D2 Post-its 3 Act Task from Jon Orr - Post it notes are placed on a bulletin board in the shape of R2D2. Ask students to estimate and then calculate the surface area of the bulletin board to find the total number of post-it notes used.
- Coin Carpet 3 Act Task from Dan Meyer - If you were going to carpet the room with a single kind of Canadian coin, which would be the cheapest option? If you could use any coin currently in circulation in the world, what would you use? Some extra questions: Design a pattern using 2 or 3 different coins to carpet the floor in the classroom and determine the cost. Would coins make a good floor material?

- File Cabinet from Andrew Stadel - How many post-it notes will it take to completely cover Mr. Stadel's fil cabinet?
- Going Round in Circles from Andrew Stadel - Compare the heigth of a water bottle to its circumference. Most students will say the circumference is shorter than the height of the water bottle.
