Last week we got to do some math. I was very excited and felt like I was helping the company out with some of our expertise. Currently Hy-Vee has three different ways that it checks inventory. Our job for the day was to go through and figure out which way was most accurate and if all three of the ways were giving similar answers. This was a time consuming process but we were able to give the company numbers that they did not expect. That was exciting for all of us that worked on the project.
It did make me realize though that I need to make sure that my students are discovering information like this. They need to be able to feel like they successfully gave an answer to a problem that they were given. Now the big thing will be figuring out a way to make this happen. Maybe this next week I can work on that from time to time :)
