In Mrs. Sinclair’s Algebra I class, students have been diving into the world of multistep equations and they’re doing it with a fun, hands-on twist! This week, students used algebra tiles to visually break down and solve complex equations. By physically representing variables and constants, algebra tiles help students better understand each step of the solving process. From combining like terms to isolating variables, our students are learning to think critically and solve equations with confidence.

Making Math Square Up: Mrs. Sinclair and Ms. Bowman’s 8th-grade math classes got hands-on with math this week by building perfect squares—literally! Using colorful tiles, students worked together to create shapes with equal rows and columns. This simple but powerful activity introduced Virginia SOL 8.NS.1a, where students learn about square roots and irrational numbers. By seeing and building the patterns for themselves, students discovered that math isn’t just numbers on a page—it’s shapes, patterns, and problem-solving in action. And yes… there were a few “aha!” moments (and maybe some friendly competition over who could build the biggest perfect square!).











Join us tonight at Holston High School as we "Meet the Cavs!" 📣🏈🏐
