Two young students lie on a carpeted floor, focused on writing in notebooks with pencils.

DeSoto Intermediate sixth-grade students recently took their math learning beyond the classroom with a fun and interactive Ratio Hunt around the school!

Two students sit on a grey bench in a school hallway, writing on papers with pencils.

As part of their study of ratios, students explored the building to discover real-world examples of mathematical relationships. They practiced identifying ratios in their surroundings, writing comparisons, and explaining the difference between part-to-part and part-to-whole relationships.

Two students stand in a school hallway, writing on a paper propped against gray lockers.

This hands-on activity gave students the opportunity to apply their classroom learning in a meaningful way while discovering that math is all around us!

Great job, Tigers, making real-world connections and bringing math to life!
