Join us for an original performance of The Day Zero Left Dodge by our Dickinson/Explorer actors! Pre-purchase theater tickets HERE. Performances are Jan 30 and 31 at the Redmond High School Performing Arts Center. Thank you for supporting school theater! Enjoy the show!
The Day Zero Left Dodge is a fun and silly mathematical Western. It's set in the small western town of Dodge City where all the citizens are numbers. When Crazy Eight's nasty gang of outlaws steal some of Seven's sheep, Zero volunteers to join One and his posse to get them back. Zero is hurt when One tells her it doesn't really matter if she joins or not since she has no value. A distraught Zero leaves town. Without Zero there to make the double-digit numbers they need, the rest of the town falls into chaos. It looks like Crazy Eight might go free if One cannot convince Zero to come back to Dodge.
Math Challenge #8 is due Thurs, Jan 23. Print and return completed challenge to your teacher or the front office by the due date. Students who complete at least 12 challenges will be recognized at the end of the school year.
