The year is going by so fast!
We just finished a project called A Tale of 3 Cities where students planned a road trip to 3 cities that made a right triangle on a map. They used the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate distance as if flying directly to the locations. I think the kids enjoyed planning a vacation!
We also just finished round 1 of STAAR testing. I know this time of year is easy to lose drive and momentum but the teachers here are doing all we can to keep them engaged in learning.
We just launched a project about expanding a refinery. Students will calculate volume and surface area of tanks before and after the expansion and decide where to place the tanks on the land. It will be a project that students will present to their peers. I can't wait!
