JiJi, the penguin in ST Math, means different things to each student. JiJi is a friend, a math coach and a constant companion. JiJi Day, April 28, is an opportunity to celebrate that special relationship students have with JiJi and math learning. Thank you to all the schools who shared their JiJi Day celebrations!
This year, JiJi challenged students to complete a visual sudoku puzzle. Students moved pieces around the board to solve the puzzle so that each row, coloumn and section contained one piece of each color. Students shared their progress, learning through mistakes and collaboration with JiJi!
