Franklin School is kicking off a brand new school year with an important mindset: every student learns and solves problems in their own unique way.
To celebrate this, students in Mrs. Komurek-DeMatos' classes were asked to reflect on a fun and insightful question:
"What type of math person are you?"
This activity helps set the tone for a classroom where all math minds are valued ā because there's no one right way to be a āmath person.ā
Hereās to a year full of growth, discovery, and confidence in math!
