Our intrepid high school Algebra I students are exploring the “unknown”—using variables and solving equations in a variety of contexts. Along the way, they are building problem-solving skills and a strong mathematical foundation for future study, including AP Calculus, Economics, and Statistics. Throughout the year, students...
Engineering meets teamwork in our MathCounts ASA! Students applied their knowledge of truss and bridge design to build paper bridges capable of holding the most mass. The winning team impressed everyone with a design featuring 8 trusses! This fun, hands-on challenge was full of collaboration...
Counting Collections is a Grade 2 math activity. Counting a collection of objects helps us practice different ways of grouping and representing numbers. As our collections get bigger, our strategies for counting change and grow. We had so much fun practicing these skills with partners...
Our AP Microeconomics students became engineering firms for the day! Each team formed a “marshmallow tower firm” with a CEO, accountant, and engineer. They purchased materials, managed fixed and variable costs, and calculated profits; all while competing to build the tallest, most profitable tower. A...
AP Statistics and AP Psychology students teamed up for a fun, hands-on field trip to the bowling alley, where they conducted a social experiment on how mindset impact performance. Now that they've collected the data, they will analyze it through both psychological and statistical lenses...
Grade 2 is exploring multiplication strategies. These mathematicians choose their preferred strategy and use a variety of tools and resources to solve problems. ...
In 3J, we’re a motivated community of math learners who thrive on sharing our theories, strategies, and reasoning. We believe learning happens best when we work together! Today, our focus was on defining, explaining, and representing fractions in multiple ways—and the conversations were as rich...
