Collaboration + creativity + critical thinking = a powerful STEAM experience!
Ms. Tanner and Ms. Ballard teamed up to blend architecture and mathematics during STEAM time in Ms. Ballard’s homeroom. Students designed and built their very own towns using correct ratios while applying skills on the coordinate plane.
Hands-on learning like this brings math to life in meaningful ways.
Now we’re just hoping the city stands! 🏗️🏙️
