Today I explored a Web site that showed pictures of carousel horses in many colors and styles. I used the pictures to compute with fractions. I found that if 3/4 of the 64 horses on a carousel have riders, then there are riders.
Ask your teacher or parents to show you other fun and interesting Web pages.
