Getting to the Business of Learning!

The classes are in full swing as we come to a close of our first week. Mrs. Hargrove's class is doing her famous "Jumping Jack Graph" in which students graph how many jumping jacks the can do in segments over two minutes. It is a great interactive lesson and works on a skill the students are sure to see next month on the MEAP. Great job everyone!!

Math Focus

I can understand probability. (The likelihood that something will occur.)
