Fantastic Factors in Fourth Grade!

Students worked in cooperative learning groups to successfully arrange various layouts for a party using their knowledge of factors and arrays. The teacher reviewed the rubric and expectations for the lesson at the beginning of the activity.  The students naturally took ownership of the task, assumed job roles and worked diligently to complete the project.  This activity was a great way for students to use objectives taught in class and apply them to the real-world.  Kudos to our wonderful 4th grade teacher Ms. Esposito for showing the children that math is truly all around us.
