In preparation for our trip to the Calgary Zoo and the Penguin Palooza program we have been doing researching on different species of penguins. We have also incorporated the theme of penguins into our math program. After reading the book 365 Penguins by Jean-Luc Fromental we used our math skills to help the family in the story solve their penguin problems. A family finds a penguin mysteriously delivered to their door every day of the year. At first the family finds the penguins cute but as they pile up they become a problem. Feeding and housing all these birds turns into a mathematical problem which students in our classes were encouraged to solve.
