⚠️ 5th Grade went all in with a “Fear Factor” inspired room transformation today! Students had to face their fears to solve tricky math problems just in time for Halloween. Who knew math could be so grossly fun!?#mylanpatriots@Monongalia_Co@MCSDoesSumMath
Monica McCartney began her career in education as a math teacher. What did she tell the student who told her he wasn’t a math person, either?
“Everyone’s a math person. You just aren’t one yet, but we’re going to fix that.”

Gauging if your students understand the "whys" behind a math concept can be tricky.
Blogging in math class can give us a window into their thinking.

🦃 Today Mrs. Turner’s 5th Graders put their decimal skills to the test by planning their own Thanksgiving Dinner! Ss planned a menu, checked prices in the paper and online, shopped for ingredients and stayed on budget! #mylanpatriots#math4lifewv@Monongalia_Co@WVEducation
Mrs. Love and Miss. Hall’s math classes learned about surface area by measuring the dimensions of a box. They were challenged to use the surface area calculations to determine the exact amount of wrapping paper needed to wrap their boxes.
Middle school math teachers had a great day digging into data with MATHia and iReady! Thanks @carnegielearn and @CurriculumAssoc for providing professional learning to push us forward! @Monongalia_Co
Who says you can’t trick-or-treat in the middle of math class? Mrs. Sowards’s class working on their fab-boo-lous adding and subtracting math lesson! 👻
Students shared their understanding of transformations during their scavenger hunt today in Mrs.Southerly’s class at @NiceSuncrest. So much fun to hear students explain their thinking as they moved from station to station! #math4lifewv@Monongalia_Co@WVEducation
Overheard in an MCS math classroom today-
Student (with a look of excitement): "They call it tenths because there are 10 blocks (that make the whole)!"
Teacher (later): "The best part of my job is to see kids who hate math understand it and start to love it!"
