🎉📏✂️ Math comes to life at Gudith Elementary!
These fourth-grade students in the extended day math program, led by Mrs. Adams, took their learning beyond the textbook with an engaging, hands-on approach to fractions and measurement.
Through project-based learning, students explored adding and subtracting fractions, equivalent fractions, mixed numbers, and number lines - all while creating something special. They measured, cut, and sewed custom aprons for Mother's Day, then wrapped up the unit by measuring, mixing, and cooking a pancake breakfast! 🥞🧵💜
Way to go, Grizzlies! Learning is delicious when it’s this fun!
