About

Plan paper flower garlands for a quinceañera with Pax the polar bear. Students count an array of flowers with multiplication, change hours to minutes and feet to inches, find how many flowers fit on a garland (with a flower at each end), multiply and add to total the flowers and tissue paper, then decide which plan the team can finish in 3 hours. Every direction is narrated, and wrong answers get a spoken hint.
