Math Monday: Pyramid Puzzle
Kicking off Vegan Week with a Pyramid Puzzle done two ways.
For Miss C, I cut a triangle shape and presented her with four, coloured parts.
For Miss O, I offered the same four, coloured sections, but no other hint.
Separate and solve.
Miss C loved this mini challenge and was visibly pleased with her own progress.
Miss O attempted some very creative routes before asking for a hint.
"It's order is largest to smallest at the top."
The traditional food pyramid does not apply to vegans, so we used the sections of our puzzle to talk about a simplified vegan version: fats (brain food), proteins, carbs and vegetables/fruit.
We talked numbers with a video documenting the environmental impacts of vegetarianism.

We also watched some funny video's about people going vegan for 21 days.
"I've been one for six years!"
Miss O exclaimed:)
