Math Madness in 3rd Grade

Submitted by megana.olson on

Yesterday, third graders at Maple Ridge were bubbling with excitement as they created bar graphs and pictographs to help guess the gender of Mrs. Olson's baby. Mrs. Sandberg's class voted 22 for boy and 4 for girl. Mrs. Olson's class also had boy outvoting girl with a tally of 19 to 12. Unfortuntaley neither class was correct and Mrs. Porter's class was left feeling triumphant with an overall vote of 24 for girl.
