SIXTH GRADE MATH IN ACTION
Sixth grade math students put their ratio skills to work through a hands-on hospital-themed project. Students calculated medication dosages, identified missing patient codes, and analyzed emergency response times to help ensure patients received the care they needed. A meaningful and engaging way to apply math skills as the nine weeks come to a close!
