The purpose of Go Figure? is to help students review for the mathematics section of the Grades 5-7 Ohio Academic Achievement Tests. The topics covered by the project address critical objectives found in the tests, but more importantly, they address those items that are frequently missed by students.
Pythagleo plans a reunion party for the missing students complete with decorations. Pythagleo, Chris, and Carter plan the menu and the amount of food to order. Three foot-long subs can feed four people. The mysterious Emily attends the party.
