Numerous math teachers are creating interactive learning opportunities for students, and the benefits are adding up. Educators have long tried to combat math anxiety and challenge the notion that learning math can't include creativity. Walking the halls of Princeton High School, it's clear that these projects are keeping students engaged in what they are learning.
Walking by the classroom of Ms. Page, the hallway is decorated with colorful examples of student work, where students Niela Ortega and Jotisha Lopez discuss their findings. Below, Mr. DePeel takes a moment with Kiki Harris to work through a problem, narrating the steps and thought processes for the class.
One thing is clear: the teachers at Princeton are working hard to foster a welcoming academic environment where students can learn and thrive.
