Cheesy Math Class

Last Friday, in LHS's 8th grade math class students completed an activity in which they made squares from Cheez-its in order to determine the link between squares and square roots. The students found that you could not build squares from non-perfect square numbers because the square would not be complete.  They also had to draw their squares on graph paper to have a hard copy of what they had just eaten. Students are building the foundation for Pythagorean Theorem & the College and Career Ready Geometry standard.  Good job students and keep eating away at the math!
