Three Lakes Middle School - Learning today, Leading tomorrow

Math class looked a little different today! 🔎➕➖ The 6th graders were up, moving, and putting their integer skills to work with an Integer Scavenger Hunt! They worked their way around the room solving problems, showing their thinking, and practicing integers outside of the usual pencil-and-paper routine. 📝 Learning + movement + a little chaos = a pretty good day in 6th grade math. 🫶🏼📚
