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.

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!
