老师首先问道：“一百万是什么？”

马歇尔斯普林斯学校的五年级学生们在最近一次亲身数学学习体验中，数了、计算了并收集了一百万颗Cheerios（麦片圈）。学生们在团队合作、准确性、建立策略和培养耐心方面获得了技能。学生们向学校社区发出挑战，希望收集到足够的盒子来代表一百万颗Cheerios，并计划将所有捐赠交给卡尔加里食品银行。

每个五年级班级数了一盒Cheerios，确定了平均值，并将总数舍入为每盒4500颗麦片圈。格雷登·J建议：“我们应该舍入到最小值，以确保我们有足够的数量组成一百万。”然后学生们计算了需要多少盒子才能代表一百万颗Cheerios。他们确定了目标为222盒。在马歇尔斯普林斯学校家庭和Sobey’s Evergreen以及Save-On Foods Walden的慷慨捐赠的支持下，学生们很快超过了目标。他们非常自豪地捐赠了260多盒麦片圈给需要帮助的家庭！

​Teachers began by asking, “what is a million?”

Grade 5 students at Marshall Springs School counted, calculated and collected one million Cheerios during a recent hands-on math learning experience. Students gained skills in team work, accuracy, build strategies and developed patience. Students issued a challenge to the school community to gather enough boxes to represent a million Cheerios, and planned to give all donations to the Calgary Food Bank.

Each Grade 5 class counted one box of Cheerios, determined the average, and rounded the total down to 4,500 individual Cheerios per box. Grayden J. suggested, “we should round down to make sure we have more than enough to make a million.” Students then calculated the number of boxes required to represent a million Cheerios. They determined their goal to be 222 boxes. With the support of the Marshall Springs School family and generous donations from Sobey’s Evergreen and Save-On Foods Walden, the students quickly exceeded their goal. They were proud to donate over 260 boxes for families in need!
