PolyToday: Measuring up

Need to know the proportions of the Lower and Middle School campus? Ask a seventh-grader. The Math and World Geography teachers recently used their Middle School FLEx time to lead a few sessions called Math in the Social Sciences. Students learned about scale and ratios, while also building important map reading skills. The project will culminate with the seventh-graders creating maps of Poly’s North Campus that will be drawn (hopefully) perfectly to scale. Even for students who have been here since kindergarten, the exercise has been eye-opening.
