Hi people! If you had half an hour a handful of incredibly bright, incredibly bored 10 year olds, what math would you teach them?

The 4th grade math curriculum is letting these kids down, and they are hungry for a challenge...and to see that math can be fun again!

in advance!

@DrTCombs
Maybe you can prove something fundamental?

Calculate the circumference of the earth, calculate how fast things accelerate with gravity?something like that?

I would include the gathering of the data, so go out and drop some things and time them. Measure the shadow of a stick and have a family member that is far away do the same, at the same time, to calculate the circumference.

@kingannoy YES! I'm not sure they can go outside but they can drop stuff!
