Families were lined up out the door, waiting to dive into fun math-related games. Students showed off their math skills, participating in a number of B.E.S.T.-aligned (Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking) and grade-appropriate math games. Activities included counting money and determining whether there was enough to purchase an item from the 'store,' rolling dice and 'racing to 100,' duplicating patterns, and more! Students who attended even got to take math kits and math-related books so the fun could continue at home! What a great event our fabulous math department, PSE's Math Coach and PSE staff put on!
