St. Lucie West K-8 Sharks were stoked to connect mathematics to their everyday technology, recreational, and social media interests. Students in Mrs. Portee’s 5th-grade math classes had to determine the mean, median, mode, and range of various data sets. To further pique their interest and engagement, each data set was intentionally created based on what our students enjoy, such as TikTok videos, Pokémon cards, and Roblox gift cards. The students were truly engaged and thoroughly enjoyed collaborating to share their results and add even more meaning to their data sets! Mrs. Portee motivates students every day with her innovative and engaging lessons!
