🚦REAL-WORLD ALGEBRA IN ACTION🚦 In celebration of #CTEMonth, we’re shining a spotlight on the Education Foundation of Martin County’s incredible Re-Engineering Algebra program! This unique opportunity shows students how math is used in every day careers. Mr. Love, a civil engineer, recently visited Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School, Hidden Oaks Middle School, Indiantown Middle School, Murray Middle School, and Stuart Middle School, demonstrating how he applies algebra to calculate traffic patterns. His hands-on lessons gave students a new perspective on why algebra matters and how it plays a role in careers they might pursue! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #IgniteTogetherMCSD🔥
