Today, third and fourth grade had the chance to visit Asbury Woods and learn about metamorphosis! Through experiential learning, students got to explore the life cycles of bees, frogs and butterflies. Students got to meet and pet different animals, collect and explore water samples, and play a bee-life cycle game! 🐝🐸🦋🐰
To close out their Pythagorean Theorem unit, eighth grade created Spiral Projects. Students created right triangles with a side leg length of one inch and used the previous hypotenuse as the second leg length of the proceeding triangle. After measuring and calculating the legs and hypotenuse of all their triangles, students created an art design to add to this math assignment. #MTA #MathFun 🔺
Yesterday, Ms. Nolan’s middle school math classroom was transformed into a “hospital” where the students performed eight surgeries! Students evaluated various levels of expressions following the order of operations. For a change, students wore masks and gowns just for fun! #MTA #MathFun 🔢🏥
Today, Ms. Nolan’s middle school math classroom was glowing for a day full of fun NWEA MAP testing preparation! To get ready for next week’s MAP testing, students rotated between the stations answering a variety of math questions while simultaneously playing a game. The games included Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect4, Jenga, and mystery cups. To make the review games even more fun, the room was blacked-out and covered with neon and glowing materials with black lights. The students were engaged and had lots of fun reviewing! #MTA #MathFun 🔆🔢
