In an annual holiday tradition, 6th-grade students at Westridge School assembled small structures and covered them in frosting and candies. The Candy Houses event requires students to use their math skills to calculate the surface area of their structures in order to determine how much frosting and candies they will need to cover them. As always, the 6th-graders came up with innovative ideas, and the structures included not only houses, but also a train, a planet, a steamboat, a tree, a mushroom, Star Wars’ Death Star and the Eiffel Tower.
