This week 8th graders went on a field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry.

8th graders participated in our school-wide Jog-a-Thon this week!

This week 7th graders used proportions to indirectly measure the height of tall objects on our playground---such as trees, signs and the building itself.  These students had been studying similar figures and used similar triangles to calculate the height of very tall objects.

7th graders worked on their Tessellations unit project, demonstrating an understanding of Transformations through art.

Students in 5th grade worked collaboratively to co-create Classroom Expectations.  Above they are sorting post-its that were their brainstorm for what our school's 3 pillars look like in the math classroom.

Students in 7th and 8th grade worked on collages for the front of their math notebook.  The collage is a visual representation of who they are as a person, and who they are as a mathematician.  A written statement explaining how the images/words represent both of those pieces was also done.

6th graders practiced constructing triangles using protractors, rulers and compasses given certain parameters.

The 6th-8th Graders participated in a community builder, called "March Madness" where homerooms competed in various friendly competitions versus each other

The 6th grade worked on a poster project during an FAL (Formative Assessment Lesson) involving steps to solving various equations that represented specific contexts.

8th graders worked on a card sort/poster as an assessment for their work with Features of Functions.

8th grade students participated in an FAL lesson (Formative Assessment Lesson), helping clarify the structural and contextual differences of Linear and Exponential relationships (in this context presented as Simple and Compound interest).
