In Mrs. Moir’s sixth-grade math class, students have been focusing on solving expressions using the order of operations. The class organized into groups to tackle four sets of expressions, emphasizing collaboration and peer assistance. When discrepancies in answers arose, students engaged in discussions to resolve their differences.
“I was impressed with their communication using math terms and listening to each other to determine who was correct,” stated Mrs. Moir.
As the academic year progresses, students will further develop their mathematical abilities by working with decimals and fractions. They will continue enhancing their algebraic skills through various lessons.
