CRUSADERS IN (AND OUT OF) THE CLASSROOM
Ms. Varnerin's Algebra I Honors class finished their 5th "Explain a Problem" video project. Students were given very challenging real world problems about exponential growth and decay. Even through this challenging time of Remote Learning, the class was able to attend small group video conferences so that they could work as a team to solve their group's assigned problem. It was almost like we were in the classroom still. You guys have worked so hard, progressed so much in articulating your mathematical reasoning and I am blown away at how AMAZING these came out! You guys are rockstars!
