OHS Weekly Wag 🐾

Fifth grade had their own Thanksgiving fun while practicing essential Math skills like division with remainders, determining volume, multiplication, reading decimals in expanded form, and adding fractions. Students had to solve math problems to determine which secret potion would break the Gobbler’s Curse and prevent the people of Mathhatten from turning into turkeys.

Who says reviewing for tests can’t be fun and involve a little friendly competition? In 6th grade math, students played team Jeopardy, and in 6th grade science, they played a game called Gimkit to prepare for an upcoming unit test. They even had some help from some of our ORR High School students who came to assist in classrooms as part of community service day.
