Students of Mrs. Senft’s sixth grade class at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe worked in groups to problem-solve making different numbers of squares with 12 popsicle sticks. Each student was only allowed to hold and move three sticks, to make the task challenging, as well as to focus on teamwork. Additionally, the task excelled at helping the boys work on problem-solving.
This past Wednesday, to celebrate the completion of their fractions unit, the sixth grade students baked cookies, making for a delicious way to end one segment before moving on to the number system unit.
