Meridian students recently put their collaboration skills to the test in P.E.! ⚡️
Working in small groups, students participated in the "Ball-on-Cone Challenge," where they had to transport a ball across the gym floor and carefully balance it on the top of a cone. The catch? Their success required clear communication, steady hands, and active cooperation from every single team member! 🤝🎯

Hexingo Math Magic! 🎲➕➗
Math is always more fun when it's a team effort! AJHS students paired up for a fast-paced game of "Hexingo" to warm up their math brains and sharpen their skills. 🧠✨
Using their iPads as digital scratch paper, groups collaborated to simplify complex expressions, solve equations, and master the order of operations to mark off spaces on their game boards. This hands-on work lays a strong foundation for their upcoming lessons on combining like terms and the distributive property! 📲📐
