P3 Math and Science Trail

Today, all of you will be going on a Math and Science Trail around the school. You will learn more about plants and apply your math skills. To accomplish this mission, you must read the instructions carefully. 

Complete all the tasks using the Explain Everything application. Use 1 new slide/page for each task. Remember to add your class and group members' names on the first page. 

You have an hour to complete the trail. Have fun!
