Okay, I've got a certain activity for math homework like this: I tell all my classmates a story. This story must have some sort of math problem inside of it. OR I can teach everyone to do a relatively interesting math problem.
Example for first option (Told by other classmates): A French mathematician invited friends to his house. He took a piece of paper, and drew a certain number of parallel lines on it. Each line were the same distance from each other. He then took a completely random number of sticks, the length of which was half of the distance between the lines. He let the guest randomly throw the sticks onto the paper. After some measuring, he estimated the number of sticks by using pi.
That's an example. My homework is due Thursday here, which means you should suggest a story before YOUR Tuesday night.
Has anyone got suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much. I'll help you with homework if I can, next time. You just saved me an hour of trouble. Where'd you get this?
