Students in Miss Curley’s third-grade class used place value blocks to model and solve 9×30 by building groups of tens. First, they represented 30 as three tens. Then they created nine equal groups to match the 9 in the problem, laying out three tens in each group. As students combined and counted the blocks, they saw that 9 groups of 3 tens equals 27 tens. They recorded this as 27 tens = 270, making the connection from concrete manipulatives to the written equation. This hands-on strategy, aligned to benchmark NSO.2.3, helped students understand how multiplication relates to place value and … Read More

St. Lucie West K8 middle school students in Mrs. Boham’s STEAM class tried their hand at 3D pens to create tops. Students applied geometric principles to create circles. They divided them into equal parts to create a balanced top to win a spin-off. Students were able to overcome the learning curve by not only using the pens, but finding the right pacing, and finding what surfaces the filament sticks best release from. Not only did Sharks use their creativity and mathematical skills, but they also collaborated with classmates to design and create 3D tops. Students manufactured well-balanced tops that spun … Read More
