AMS Students Take Cumulative "Snowman" Assessment
Mrs. Gaither’s Math Class completed a cumulative assessment of the second nine weeks. They answered a total of 10 questions (that each student drew from a bag) which resulted in many different sets of answers. They then used a key provided to determine the attributes their snowmen must possess. Once all of the work was completed, they each got to design their snow man from scratch using a variety of materials. What a fun way to take a test!!!
