Mrs. Steighner‘s class is working on finding the area of 3-D shape nets. This is part of their unit on calculating surface area.

Today, Mrs. Taylor’s 7th and 8th grade Geometry classes reviewed for their test by playing Among Us with their study guides. Students worked through problems together while trying to find the secret imposter who was secretly attempting to sabotage correct answers. This encouraged working through error analysis and problem solving while having fun! Way to go Tigers!

Ms. Martin's students used Versa Tiles to practice fraction concepts.

Mr. Haskins’ math class is converting unit measurements. The learning is on going as they reinforce unit concepts while operating their classroom economy day to day. Those dollars are not real but sometimes you can mistake it for real cash 😂

Our 8th grade Student Council leadership team held a planning meeting as we plan for our service projects, pep rally, spirit week, and Lyman Reading Buddies Lunch & Learn!
Our leadership team is incredible and our students take pride in their school!

⏳ Two weeks to go! Get ready for our Twelve Days Until the Holidays Dress-Up fun. Start planning your festive looks! 🎄✨
