Students in grades 3–5 at Mosaic Digital Academy recently participated in a dynamic and hands-on Live Day, filled with engaging math and science activities designed to spark curiosity and deepen understanding.
In math, students explored multiplication and division concepts using Smarties candies. This sweet and strategic activity, aligned with Florida’s B.E.S.T. math standards, allowed learners to visualize and manipulate groups and arrays in a fun, tactile way. The colorful candies helped students make real-world connections to abstract mathematical operations.
Science investigations were equally captivating. Third-grade students tackled the question: Can paper overcome gravity? Through experimentation, they compared how different forms of paper—balled up, flat sheets, and paper airplanes—behaved when dropped. This inquiry-based activity encouraged students to think critically about air resistance, gravity, and design, fostering scientific thinking and collaboration.
Live Day at Mosaic Digital Academy continues to be a highlight for students, blending creativity, exploration, and academic rigor in a vibrant learning environment.
