Math Hits the Pavement at CMS

Mr. Friend provides assistance to a student working on square roots.

Math has received a stigma over time and there are even adults who can’t stand thinking about math. How do educators and administrators decrease the negative stigma associated with math?  At Commerce Middle School, we talk about making math relevant and engaging.  Mr. Friend's eighth grade math students were engaged and learning today about multiplying and dividing radicals.  It was a great day for math to "hit the pavement" at CMS.  

These young ladies proclaim, "Problem solved."
