Future Goals: Math. I like “Covering the Ice”. Its Mathematical and is hard, but reachable to students who are beginning to understand early Mathematical concepts.
What was your student’s reaction to the program?
They realized that Math is reachable and can be fun too! They did not realize how many shapes can be inside a hockey rink.
