Division 7 read a really fun book called “Groundhog Weather School”.   The story is all about teaching Groundhogs how to predict the weather.  Folklore says that on February the second, groundhogs come out of their burrows to look for their shadows.  If they don’t see their shadows, it means spring is here.  If they do see their shadows, it means they’ll be six more weeks of winter,  

Our math equations:

Groundhog – shadow = spring

Groundhog + shadow = winter

We decided to make a graph about what we thought Wiarton Willie, Canada’s famous albino groundhog, would predict for weather this year. Then we analyzed our responses:

We watched a video clip that showed that Willie did not see his shadow, and so he predicted that we would have an early spring.
