Hickory Creek fourth-grader Noah Pack wasn’t going to take a wild guess at how many pieces of chocolate were stuffed in a plastic container. He was going to apply his math skills.“I counted how many there were from top to bottom and then I multiplied by the number of sides,” said Noah.That sort of thinking is exactly what educators at Hickory Creek Elementary aimed to promote when they held a STEM night Tuesday.
