Snow Day 4Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: Math

In America, we use Fahrenheit to understand temperatures, but most of the world uses Celsius. So how do you figure out how many degrees it is when the temperature is in Celsius. Use the following formula.

Degrees Fahrenheit - 32 = YY / 1.8 = Degrees Celsius

Here are two examples:

13 Degrees Fahrenheit - 32 = -19-19 / 1.8 = -10.56 Degrees Celsius

-11 Degrees Fahrenheit - 32 = -43-43 / 1.8 = -23.89 Degrees Celsius

Figure out how many degrees Celsius these Fahrenheit temperatures are.

7 Degrees Fahrenheit =

-20 Degrees Fahrenheit =

27 Degrees Fahrenheit =

-5 Degrees Fahrenheit =

10 Degrees Fahrenheit =

Turkish Delight

Turkish Delight was created 250 years ago!

According to Turkish legend, a confectioner named Ali Muhiddin Haci Bekir created the treat in the mid-1700s after hearing the Sultan of Turkey (a country in western Asia located between the Black and Mediterranean Seas) complain about breaking his teeth on hard candy. Anxious to please the Sultan, Bekir whipped up a batch of soft, chewy candy called rahat lokum which means “comfortable morsel.” Today the candy is simply called lokum or Turkish Delight.

In the book, the White Witch gives Edmund a piece of enchanted candy called Turkish Delight. The candy causes an insatiable greed for more and Edmund finds himself caught up the Witch’s treachery, willing to turn his own siblings over to the Witch!

How C.S. Lewis Imagined Mr. TumnusHe was only a little taller than Lucy herself and he carried over his head an umbrella,

white with snow. From the waist upwards he was like a man, but his legs were shaped like a goat's (the hair on them was glossy black) and instead of feet he had goat's hoofs. He also had a tail, but Lucy did not notice this at first because it was neatly caught up over the arm that held the umbrella so as to keep it from trailing in the snow. He had a red woollen muffler round his neck and his skin was rather reddish too. He had a strange, but pleasant little face, with a short pointed beard and curly hair, and out of the hair there stuck two horns, one on each side of his forehead. One of his hands, as I have said, held the umbrella: in the other arm he carried several brown-paper parcels. What with the parcels and the snow it looked just as if he had been doing his Christmas shopping. He was a Faun. And when he saw Lucy he gave such a start of surprise that he dropped all his parcels.

“Goodness gracious me!” exclaimed the Faun.
