Natalie Portman Guest Edits Math Magazine
Who knew? Actress Natalie Portman, who graduated from Syosset High School in 1999, says math was one of her favorite subjects in school. Now she's a guest editor of Scholastic Math, a magazine for students in grades 6-9 that's available in classrooms and by subscription.
She's editing the Oct. 29 edition, due out in a week or two. That's not long before the Nov. 16 debut of Portman's new movie, "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium," in which she plays the manager of a magical toy store. A related magazine article about a real toy store will explore the concept of profit. There's also an activity based on the upcoming change from daylight savings time to standard time.
