North Bellmore School District

Integers, rational numbers and the coordinate plane may seem like advanced math concepts, but sixth graders at Saw Mill Road Elementary School are mastering the topics with ease thanks to a creative project.  

Students had to plot positive and negative numbers on a coordinate grid. Then, they connected the dots to reveal a mystery, fall-themed image. The pictures included acorns, footballs, ghosts, leaves, pumpkins and turkeys. The sixth graders then colored in their images to create lively mathematical creations.
