    Bonus Material - Math Club Junior: It's a Zoo Out There!

    Hey there Math Club.  Our most recent episode, Math Club Junior:  It's a Zoo Out There, was our second special episode made specifically for kids.  When Noah was planning how he wanted to use the episode with his own third grade class, he knew that some visuals would come in handy, so he created a slide deck with images to go along with each problem that the students will have to solve.   If you'd like to use this resource along with the audio, you can find it by going to: https://bit.ly/mcj_zoo We hope you find these images to be fun and helpful, and we'll see you next time!
