For our latest round of projects at Navasota Junior High, all of our math students from 6th grade through Algebra have been working on projects focused on feeding the needy in our area around the holidays. The projects encouraged our students bring canned good and non-perishable food items.
The Algebra 1 students did fantastic jobs creating public service announcements involving their data collection and graphs. The 8th grade project had students making calculations so that the local food bank could better provide to meet the needs of different size families. The 7th graders worked to analyze the different food items that were collected and created graphs to analyze that data. The 6th graders worked on calculating how much food would be needed to cook for a specific number of people at the Twin City Mission during the holiday season.
At the completion of the projects, a few of our 8th grade students took the food that was collected at school and donated it at the annual KBTX Food for Families Food Drive and spent some time work to help sort and box collected items. We hope that these projects have provided our students with a real life experience that helped make a difference for those who are less fortunate.
