We got out our rulers and protractors today to compare slopes of similar triangles. #HandsOnMath #StarkvilleSpark @AMSjackets @StarkvilleSD

I loved watching the determination as students tried to build taller and taller structures. #StarkvilleSpark

Team Navigators has a great time at the Noxubee Refuge today! We went on a hike, analyzed fossils, inspected water samples under a microscope, and built buildings to withstand earthquakes! @StarkvilleSD @AMSjackets

Thanks to The Citizens Bank of Starkville for teaching our math classes about the importance of budgeting and saving money! Students got to see what it’s really like to pay bills and have unexpected expenses. #RealWorldLessons @AMSjackets @StarkvilleSD

People learn in so many different ways. Grateful to have the technology and online resources to give our students the opportunity to see material presented in a different way! #StarkvilleSpark @StarkvilleSD @AMSjackets

Today’s stations were all about functions, initial value, and rate of change. 📈 Classroom timers are great reminders to stay on task, especially on these short Late Start days. ⏳Every minute is important! #ExpectExcellenceEveryday @StarkvilleSD @AMSjackets

Breaking up the bookwork with a little hands-on practice sorting relations based on whether or not they are functions. #StarkvilleSpark

Spent the day collaborating with middle school math teachers from other districts in NE MS. Excited about all of the resources and ideas I’m bringing back to share with my fellow @AMSjackets! #IgnitingTheSpark #StarkvilleSpark @StarkvilleSD

Students got to explore lots of great career opportunities at #MSITP19 today! #ImagineThePossibilities #SparkingExcellence

Saw lots of great outfits for Career Day today, but this was my favorite! Vet by day, dreamer by night! #NeverStopDreaming #HoCo2019 #SparkingExcellence @StarkvilleSD

They say the best way to learn something is to teach someone else, so Algebra students got to “teach” each other problems as we reviewed for benchmark exams next week!

#FunFriday this week consisted of some hands-on practice with balancing equations. @StarkvilleSD @AMSjackets #ExpectExcellence
