Episode Notes
- Pythagleo plans a reunion party for the missing students complete with decorations. Pythagleo, Chris, and Carter plan the menu and the amount of food to order. Three foot-long subs can feed four people. The mysterious Emily attends the party.
- If your students have viewed all eight episodes, they are probably wondering why there is not a definitive conclusion to the story. Please encourage the use of the CD-ROM edu-game for each episode that they have viewed. This allows them to practice using the concepts that were presented in the video programs. It also may give them the answers for which they are looking!
- After Chris defines proportion, Pythagelo begins to share information about people offering to do something for others – “like the other night on Main Street.” Chris stops Pythagleo in mid sentence and tells him “No, That’s a proposition.”
