Another Middle School Family Math Challenge

Hey there. Back again with another math challenge. Did you guys figure out yesterday’s math challenge: How long does it take your heart to beat a million times? and a billion times? Well, whether you guys figured it all out or not, hopefully you had fun and learned some good math in the process.

See, that's the whole idea. Getting your kids to see the fun and usefulness of math. So just keep encouraging them with their math and sooner or later they'll be loving math.

Today’s math challenge has to do with popcorn.(well sort of)
Each challenge has a problem, a tip to get you started and the solution. Each challenge also has additional problems as well as a description of where the math is used in the real world.

Remember to try to get the whole family to join in. Even though these math challenges are geared for middle schoolers, it's a good idea to have your younger kids get involved too. Who knows, the high school kids might want to show off a bit and show their math skills.

Check out the popcorn math challenge here.

Ok, you're on your own. See Ya.

Have Fun.
