As a culminating project learning about ratios, proportions, and scaled maps, sixth-grade students enlarged an image of their choice by hand. Students were able to choose a scale factor between two and four as long as it fit on the posterboard. In their reflections, students shared how proud they were of their final products and were impressed by how much it looked like the original. Check out the architects’ masterpieces in the album below.
In Fifth Grade, students were hard at work writing informational books about their areas of expertise the last month. They created a table of contents, chapters and a glossary. Many of the students drew pictures to add to their information books.
Faculty Plaid Day was established by Gail Long, a former math teacher at MA for many years. She started this tradition and we are going to continue it in her honor. Since the students don't see as many faculty throughout the day, we put on a Zoom fashion show where our Middle School faculty walked down the runway!
