Mrs. Turney's second-grade class was PUMPED about solving some Winter Olympics word problems! 💪 They were using the outdoor space at Sylvan Elementary School on this pleasant afternoon, working out subtraction problems using a selected strategy, showing the answer on paper, and with a student-suggested action: in this case, squats! 31 - 12 = 19, so 19 squats, it is! A little drizzle started to fall towards the end, but that didn't stop these math superstars (or Mrs. Turney!)
