📐✨ Math in Action! ✨📐
Today in Ms. McKenzie's Math 3 class, her students explored cross sections with a hands-on Play-Doh activity! 🎨👐 They had a blast seeing how 3D shapes can transform when sliced into different cross sections.
To top it off, they took a nature walk to spot 3D shapes in the real world—learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom, it’s all around us! 🌿🔺🌎
