WINTERSVILLE — Third- and fourth-grades pupils in the Indian Creek Local School District were encouraged to think outside the box and use their “imathimation” during a recent assembly held at various schools. Dave and Linda Mitchell of Mobile Productions Inc. were on hand to teach the pupils the importance of math in daily living. “Math is a universal language,” Dave Mitchell explained. “It is the same everywhere in the world. If you can speak math, then you can speak globally. Everything we do today involves math, we need it in everyday life.” He used magic during his presentation to make math a fun activity, not something one should dread, he noted. “Math can be fun. It’s not always easy for us but we can always make it fun,” he said.
