Seventh grade applied their knowledge of ratios, proportions, and scale measures to enlarge candy wrappers. The students had to correctly measure the wrapper and parts of its design to scale up and measure onto large paper. After all measurements were gathered and calculations scaled up, students then colored their scale drawing to complete the project! #MTA #MathFun 🍫
Today was “P” day for Kindergarten’s “Backwards Bootcamp!” What better way to celebrate with a picnic in the park in play clothes!

Fifth grade made fraction flowers! They created six equivalent fractions as the petals, writing the decimal at the center, and placing their fraction leaf on a stem number line! #MTA #MathFun 🌼
Middle school took a trip to the Drake Well Museum last Thursday. Students split into groups with a tour guide. They were able to explore the hands-on museum and walk to the various outdoor exhibits. After learning about the history of the oil industry and this historic sight, everyone enjoyed lunch at the picnic ground. There was perfect weather to race, play tag, roll down the hill, and catch and release salamanders. #MTA 🛢
Last week, middle school science students dissected frogs. Students were able to look at different organs and understand how they work! #MTA #Science 🐸
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 🔆🔢
