Jared was pretty wired (in a positive way!) after his lunch break today, and I quickly realized that a formal math class was probably not going to work. So instead we worked on his Christmas poster – the school is organizing an event tomorrow in which the younger students will bring in holiday foods from different countries. In conjunction with this, they also prepared posters bearing information on these countries. Jared had expressed a wish to 'represent' Sweden, but that was already taken, so we worked on Finland. He completed the poster! However, whenever I had the opportunity I inserted some math or physics (with math) talk into our session. For example, today we discussed at length Newton's laws (specifically, inertia) and how they apply to cars.
