Math Drills Likened to Horse Racing
My son’s junior high math teacher is a riot! She takes math very very seriously, but also has a unique gift of making things fun for the kids. Every Friday, she has a math drill race from that week’s material and the kids all compete head to head to win a prize. She likens it to horse racing, and even found free horse racing photos to post around the classroom on Fridays. It helps the kids get into the spirit of the event. I couldn’t be happier, my son’s grades are the highest they have ever been thanks to this wonderful lady.
