Every year my students and I LOVE taking part in the O.R.E.O. Project run by Jen Wagner as a part of her Projects by Jen. First we made a prediction about how many Oreos we thought we could stack, then we got to work stacking. Once a cookie was placed, it could not be moved. The stack could not be straighten during the stacking either. Each child tried once and then we stopped to chat about what strategies we used to get a high stack. Then the children tried a second time. Congrats to Anna with the highest stack – 29 cookies!! After 2 tries, we calculated the average of our highest stacks – 20 cookies. We submitted our average and look forward to seeing what averages other classrooms get. We are also hoping to Skype with another class to talk about our stacking experience. Hope you enjoy seeing these photos!
