Students Graphing Linear Equations

Students in Kristi Peterson’s algebra class and worked on graphing linear equations using the slope-intercept method. We placed a giant coordinate plane on the gym floor. This helps students see where they need to be on the graph. The activity involves cooperation and discussion. Plus, it is fun to do something different. What a great group of students! Thanks much to Coach Garfield and Coach Steinhoff for sharing the gym today! #Jeffpride

Measurement Review

Students in Mrs. Kristi Peterson’s math skills class worked on measuring. They discussed the increments used in measuring inches and measured various objects around the room. This enhanced their fraction knowledge and refreshed their memory on measurements.

Math students in Mrs. Julie Petersen’s classes get to learn by doing. Formulas and theorems have to be discovered! Life application is essential. Mrs. Petersen has brought in many materials to her classroom to help students understand the lesson objectives more deeply and benefit long-term memory. Follow her classes on Twitter with #FHS210.

FBLA visits fourth graders, discusses American Enterprise Week

by

To raise awareness of American Enterprise Week, members of the FHS FBLA organization visited the fourth graders at Jefferson, on November 12th. Next week the fourth graders will be coming up to the high school to make cookies for the FHS students to buy. American Enterprise Week is about the freedom to start and run any business we choose.
