About

In The Courtroom episode you’ll hear Mr. Donovan’s testimony. He’ll tell the judge exactly what happened on Wednesday, April 19th. Students will become detectives who watch, listen and collect information so they can help the judge find the 3 mistakes in Mr. Donovan’s story. 2 mistakes are purely math and the 3rd mistake is based on science.
