Actually, I do. In the past couple of weeks, we have been doing some geometry. They have calculated the circumference of my pool, area of my pool floor, surface area of my pool (cylinder), etc. They all wanted to know if they could come over and swim when school is out. Uh............ I don't think all 140 of y'all are gonna fit in my pool!!
