McNeal Elementary School: 

 

In STEM, our Wildcats were classifying shells by color, size and shape with Mr. Kolomiychenko. The students were so proud of themselves as they were collaborating with their teams to solve problems with Cubelets, as well.

Fifth graders in math have been working hard adding/subtracting decimals. They have to line up the decimals, put in "filler zeros" and estimate to check if their answer is "reasonable". Today, students used a Real World scenario by ordering TACOS, BURRITOS and more! They took their partners' "order" like a waiter or waitress, had to choose one menu item from three categories (main food, side item and drink), added the dollar amounts and all while having to keep it under $10! It was fun to hear their conversations using math talk language, incorporating vocabulary words (sum/difference), trying new combos of meals and seeing how math really is in our world every day! Wildcats Lead With Excellence!
