Math + Online Learning:

It's 'The Mother Lode' of Math

 

            Today's Snack: Yes, that's spelled right. A "lode" in mining is a rich supply of valuable metal in the middle of rock. It's kind of a like a big vein in the human body. When a miner "strikes the mother lode," it means big bucks! Well, today's featured website is like a "mother lode" of online math activities. So to symbolize that, take a spoonful of peanut butter and blob it into an individually-packaged serving of chocolate pudding. Stir just a little. Then eat. When you hit that peanut butter taste, what are you going to say? "I HIT THE MOTHER LODE!!!!"
