Kelly Lane students participated in a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) day on Thursday. Students were given 10 index cards and 10 inches of masking tape. The challenge was to create the tallest structure that stood on its own. Students used engineering, creativity and problem solving skills to create these masterpieces.
Fact Fluency is more than just speed. It is also the ability to think flexibly and efficiently. Students play math games to increase fact fluency.
