Math:

Today the students had an extended math period to work on a real-life problem-solving scenario called "The Garden Architect Challenge." For this task, they needed to solve a number of spatial design challenges by applying their knowledge of triangles and quadrilaterals, and by determining the perimeter and area of said figures. They worked in pairs and did an admirable job. Here is a link to the task overview: The Garden Architect Challenge
