Eighth graders demonstrated their ability to make comparisons of equality and inequality by helping their cartoon friend Penelope find the man of her dreams. Eighth graders described, compared and contrasted numerous cartoon figures in an attempt to help their friend Penelope. Is Alejandro as nice as Pedrito? Is Pedrito more athletic than Pablo? Does Fernando eat as much as Ramon? Who is the oldest of the group? These are just some of the questions that eighth graders contemplated to arrive at the conclusion that Raúl would probably be best for Penelope.
