🔢✨ Math + Mystery = Fun in Mr. Wildey’s 7th Grade!

Our 7th graders are mastering how to evaluate expressions — and yesterday they got to put their problem-solving skills to the test! 💪

Students chose their challenge:
🧩 a digital escape room full of math clues, or
🕵️‍♀️ a riddle quest that put their critical thinking to work.

Way to make math engaging and exciting, Falcons! 💚🤍 #FalconsFlyFar #TalonsUp #MathInAction
