Mrs. McRae’s class is practicing math how they learn best! They chose from flexible seating options including different chairs, desks or floor desks. They also got to choose to complete the math problems using any strategy that works for them! Some students chose to use 10 frames, others used number lines or drew pictures! Then they shared what works for them, and how they got their answers to the same problems!
