Students in Mrs. Nichols’ 7th grade math class are building their understanding of geometry through hands-on learning! 📐 Students are graphing three-dimensional shapes, calculating surface area and volume, and folding two-dimensional nets to create the 3D figures. These interactive activities help students make meaningful connections and deepen understanding in ways traditional instruction alone cannot.
