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!).

One of the many ways that Mr. Brandon Dale, Communities in Schools Student Support Coordinator, supports our students is through encouraging regular attendance. Students who had perfect attendance on the days of their SOL tests were entered in a drawing to win a gift card of $150 toward a new pair of shoes, and Jasmine FH. was the winner!
