Hello Norcan friends.
The Pereyma Team has created a task that we hope will promote mathematical inquiry and an interest in Norway at the same time! We would like to invite you to review this task and consider if you could incorporate it into your classroom sometime soon. It is our hope that this task could be a mechanism by which our students build their Mathematical thinking skills (particularly around ratios and rates) and also connect with their Albertan and Norwegian classmates. Our students would be most willing to share their solutions to this task, and would love to engage in a learning journey with other students as well. If you don't know what a timbit is, you will be sure to find out when you visit Ontario in the spring! In the meantime, our students would be pleased to send measurements so that students who have no access to timbits could also join us on this learning journey.
Lastly, we hope that you will consider the task provided here to be a first draft. If you would like to learn with us, we would be pleased to hear from you how you feel the task could be improved or just changed to better meet your students' needs.
We hope to hear from you soon! :)

Hi Leanne.
The task looks like a lot of fun, but we really don't have anything like timbits in Norway. Could you be so kind as to upload some pictures with timbits on a scale, with a ruler and so on, so we can get an idea of the measurements.
That's awesome Benita! Thanks for joining us in this learning! Please let us know how we can connect. Could we share student solutions at some point? My students will have completed the task when your students are just beginning it. Depending on what your task looks like, my students could share data and how they determined measures, .... or anything else you can think of! We are just hoping to get our kids sharing the Mathematical thinking and learning with classmates outside of our school as much as possible.
Thanks again. We are really looking forward to connecting!
This looks great, I have already modified it to fit with my WorkPlace Math 10 class as part of the review that they will be doing after Christmas.
