News & Announcements

In 7th grade math this past month, students participated in math stations focused on problems with percentages. Students attended three different stations, all focusing on different aspects of percentages.

One of the stations involved the students completing a table on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages. This station was completed on their own or with some guided assistance from Mrs. Theiler.

Another station involved the students completing online questions covering percentage of change. These online questions provided students with immediate feedback and assistance if they struggled with an answer. The website also allows the students to work through questions at a pace comfortable for each individual learner.

The last station was with Mr. Fragodt, where the students worked through more specific questions in a small group. Students and Mr. Fragodt corrected any misunderstandings or misconceptions they may have had.

Overall, students found this to be a fun and positive experience. They received individual instruction with different stations that allowed them to work at their own pace to reinforce or master the content of percentages.

 

Students in Exploring FCS 8 completed their quilt squares which their teacher, Mrs. Young sewed into a quilt top to be donated to the St. Joseph’s of Waite Park missions. This is the 6th year the FCS 8th grade classes have donated a quilt top to charities.
