Wednesday, August 17, math students participated in a team building activity. Once divided into groups, a leader was chosen. The leaders were the other people who could touch the puzzle pieces and they had to keep their eyes closed. The rest of the group members had to work together to figure out how to solve the nine piece square puzzles. Teams were timed and team rankings were noted. Then, students discussed the reasonings on completing the activity. Algebra students determined two different ways to showcase the information given. *Shoutout to our 1st grade friends that gave us the puzzles.
