Two Rivers Senior Center

Thank you to the Friends of the Two Rivers Senior Center for your donations to our Tiny Pantry in the Month of May! Also, thank you to all of the individual donations from our community!

Do you remember when we were collecting items for the school's new math program? Here is a report on what the kids are using them for!

"These are from our second grade classrooms, Unit 8 of the Bridges math curriculum.

This unit provides a review of place value and 3-digit computation in Module 1. Modules 2, 3, and 4 focus on data collection
and analysis. In Module 2, students are introduced to a project in which they make cardboard ramps of different kinds to
investigate some of the factors that cause marbles to roll farther and faster. After their initial explorations, students conduct
formal experiments to test several different variables. In the process, they generate data by measuring marble roll distances
multiple times, combine their data, and enter it on line plots to better see, understand, and analyze how different variables
affect the distance rolled. The unit concludes with student-conducted surveys, in which students generate questions on
topics of their choosing, gather, organize, and analyze the data, and share their findings with others."
