Math magic

Hey! This is Gabby! I have not written a blog entry for a while, and I have something to share with you. I was in math class, and we didn’t really have much work to do because it was a few days before we were let out for Christmas Break, so instead we played a few games. My math teacher, Mr Carayol, also did some riddle-type things. There was a cool one so I thought I would share it with you. :)
