GeoArt
Students explore geometric concepts by constructing angles and using regular polygons to construct 2-D and 3-D shapes.  They create colorful two-dimensional tessellations and print computer tessellations.  Students who complete individual assignments work with peers to produce a group project such as string art on wood or a large "space" shape.
















Math Exploration 2009 -2010
Students use mathematical reasoning while solving multi-step problems.  They gain confidence in thinking and communicating mathematically while exploring:  calculator math, mathematics in history, positive and negative integers and other pertinent topics.  Students acquire algebraic understanding by solving hands-on linear equations.  Students will also enjoy creative and recreational math.












 










We're on our way to learning math
It's a challenging and exciting path!

Imagine something better!  Imagine the best at St. Elmo!
