We were excited to welcome SM Wilson & Co. – Beyond the Build from St. Louis, MO to our school on Friday! Mrs. Thompson’s Geometry and 8th grade students, Mr. Krewson's Bridges students, and Mrs. Robertson’s Applied Math students had the opportunity to see firsthand how the concepts they are learning in class connect directly to real-world architecture and construction. From measurements in design, estimating bid offers, problem-solving, and learning about elements of a blueprint, students explored how math truly builds the world around us. Experiences like this help bridge the gap between classroom learning and future careers, making math meaningful and relevant. Thank you to SM Wilson’s team for investing in our students and showing them how geometry and applied math shape the spaces where we live, work, and learn! 🏗️📐 #strivingforexcellence #realworldlearning
